    Oh it was the pointy end. Cut my shoelace and then straight through the tongue, my sock and then foot. It took a moment for me to work out what had happened as I felt nothing other than something hitting my foot.

    Custom knife made by Tharwa valley forge in Australia. The CSM who we were under whilst overseas was a gun and knife nut so got a few of these made up for the lads who wanted them. Very good steel stays incredibly sharp, has delt to it's fare share of game now.

    When I got my first Spyderco, age 14, the very first thing I did with it was cut myself to the bone Traditional!

    It's spine "jimping" basically extra grip for different hand posistions when it's wet or bloody. The pummel at the end is designed for breaking glass etc. Designed as a military/hunting knife.
