<br />
Any advice from folks having gone through something similar? Also, first surgery here so just being laid up in general is weird.]]></content:encoded>

And thought about how many others there might be.  I&#039;m all for leaving them alone, but would also love to know what their belief systems are, histories, how they just live day to day.  Also, what they think is in the outside world that they must know exists....<br />

Recently I’ve been eying the Architect 4.5 and when I get around to it, this will be my first blade in 3v. I don’t mind taking care of my blades and enjoy a good patina, hence while I probably won’t hop on the MagnaCut train when I buy my AK4.5.<br />
<br />
What have your experiences been with 3v in a camp/survival knife? Does it take a good patina? I’ve heard people complain about pitting instead of surface...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[This past Tuesday was the 49th Anniversary of the D.B. Cooper Skyjacking [November 24th, 1971]. Cooper bailed out of a NORTHWEST AIRLINES 727 jet airliner with $200,000.00 in Twenty-dollar bills, the equivalent of present-day $1,285,866.67 [0.67 cents?!!], setting off an incredible manhunt. To this day, this audacious crime has never been solved and it remains a mystery whether he survived the jump or not.<br />

Certainly machete&#039;s on their Peruvian outings, and I believe from what I&#039;ve read their first design was the RTAK made for them by Newt Livesay. But I am wondering what production tool/sheath knives they might have used in the early years before their own proprietary designs began being made?]]></content:encoded>
