I bought one of these Benchmade-brand gems, and immediately ordered three more.
These will be given to troops who merit something special, like the Air Force major who gave his Hobbit Hole Camillus BK2 to a Marine captain who was heading to Iraq. In his case, he got one of the limited-edition CRKT folders (shown beneath our standard Camillus folding knife) for his honor and integrity is helping out a fellow American fighting man.
I would like to start out by saying you all do an awsome thing for the troops, getting us things that either supply cannot get us or we are limited at getting for other reasons. It is an incredible way that you show your support. I write to you because I am in need.
I am a 19D cav scout and have a secondary mos of 91W combat medic which I am now deployed as. On missions I do everything from saw gunner or ride as the medic. About two weeks my convoy was hit with two ieds at 0 dark 30. It was not all up- armored as we were escorting some other vehicles. The truck in front of mine was hit. It was not up armored but had a kevlar blast blanket in it. The first ied was an efp built with a 155 round. The shrapnel tore thru the cab and the blanket. The blanket was shredded and tangled in with the driver due to shrapnel going into his iba. Upon exiting my m1114 I found myself using my knife a crkt folder to cut through the entangled kevlar blanket to get to the driver and perform treatment. It was somewhat of a task doing this with a small folder. I am looking for solid hard use fixed blade that I can mount on my iba for quick access. I would like a serrated blade if this is possible. I could use a good fixed blade over a good multi tool but am in need of one always and would definietly appresiate a good multi tool if that is all you have. Thank you for your support and time.
