They are the nifty new ~airweight~ model.

I carried the same old steel one since I was issued one in the CG. But there’s been some great improvements over the years. Lately I’ve gotten a new one, the airweight with the rubberized handle.

The airweight is all aluminum, except for the last center rod which is steel. It makes it remarkably light, which was a real pain in the old ones. They were heavy and no fun to carry in a pocket.

These new ones, especially the little 16” number... have almost no weight to them and easily slip in a pocket with your keys. But they still zip out in a second and with that tip-heavy feel it’ll still snap a bone easily. Or disable an elbow, or render hand bones incapable of holding a knife... Stuff like that.

You know... happy things. :-)
