Here is a Becker BK2 that I stripped the thick finish off, reangled the blade, and reshaped the handles to my liking.

The bag was a giveaway at a conference and turned out to be a good throw-on for classes where I can carry tools, first aid, water, and a few magazines in case I get a chance to shoot. Most importantly I can get it off without much effort at lunch time ;-) . The funky looking monocular is from Wolf and it's actually pretty darn decent for ~$30. At 8X it works for reading targets at 50-plus yards.


And, attached on the back side:


This M-95 puukko is a favorite among Scandinavian servicemen. Designed by Finnish Defense Forces Captain J.P. Peltonen and as I understand it, made by him in his shop in a corner at the Fiskars factory. No fish hooks, no compass, no Damascus, just a simple but solid all-around blade. Finland has a blade culture; Mom always said when she was a little girl every Finlander had a Puukko, not carried for show.
So this is what in English is, simply, the Ranger Knife. Knife being Puukko in Finnish. It is rather unfortunate for the US market that the Finnish word for Ranger (loose translation) is… Sissi. So this is the Sissipuukko. Sissi also / can also mean something like partisan or resistance / guerilla fighter. At any rate if you take a look at Finland's Winter War with Russia, "ain't no sissies".
Shown with what I think are the ultimate in slugs and buckshot.

This is a new addition, but I've been wanting one for years.

Al Mar Hawk - This one was given to me by Al Mar at the 1992 S.O.F. Convention in Las Vegas.
This was just a few months before Al died. R.I.P.

That certainly makes for a special blade.
