That version is still available through Gerber but they require credentials of law enforcement or military activity.

There are some really nice knives here. I've dabbled a bit in knife-making, myself, and admire the skill and artistry of those custom blades.

Here's one I made last year--it's a 24 inch "sword" I made for my daughter to cut her wedding cake. (I hope I'm doing this right, and I apologize for the poor picture quality in advance....)

Man, I really like that RandallZ, fantastic!!!!!:):)

Additional details for anyone interested...it's O-1 tool steel, shaped by stock removal (grinders, files, and some machine milling), heat treated to about Rockwell 59. I had a bit of time constraint since my daughter asked me to make it only a month before her wedding, so I didn't have enough time to do anything fancy with the grip. Maybe next time... [Ha! I learned my lesson...there won't BE a next time! Making four identical edge grinds by hand is infinitely more difficult than just two on a regular knife.]

RandallZ, since you say that the handle is not fancy enough I think that you need to send the knife to me so you will not have to look at it any longer!!!!:D:D

It's my daughter's now, and she keeps it close at hand. She's 500 miles away. So, I'll have to pass your kind offer. :D
