Even though the MPK-TI knife came with a sheath from the factory, the SEALs requested Mad Dog sheaths. If you know the history between Mad Dog and Mission Knives, having Mad Dog make a sheath for an MPK is a near impossible task, but the SEALs were successful with their request. In addition to the knife, I also received a ton of paperwork from the 1993 knife trials, which contain firsthand reviews of the MPK-TI knives written by SEALs who used the knives in the field. My knife looks new, it somehow escaped testing unharmed. This is an extremely rare set, probably unique, and these documents have never been shown publicly before now. https://i.imgur.com/3X4jBKH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LRf6aIP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JTLWVOD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7LdFtNM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/55Gu3az.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kGJZw7n.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WSE0yiA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6ziQpSi.jpg View Quote 5 SCU's were built for testing by the SEALs during the 1993-4 trials and 9 were built for collectors after the trials. This knife is number 6 of those 9. It's pretty cool to have both versions of the Mission knives that were submitted to the trials (with paperwork!), especially since they won the contract! Even though this is a very rare knife, there's actually one listed on ebay right now, if anyone is interested..... |

Tried a 940-1 a while back, and didn’t fall in love with it. Now I want to try one again, and am itching for a 940-1701 or 940DLC-1802. Feel like I need some 940 variant to round out the collection.

What other brands should I check out, I tend to focus on Benchmade, ZT and Spyderco but want to broaden my horizons a bit. Lets say under $150 for an EDC

3, 87.. Same thing right? Well the newest is in route to my house and then heading to its new home almost immediately after. So here's some of his pictures of his new creation. Mom liked my last one so I asked @Kuraki to make her one for her birthday. This is his home made Carbon Fiber! I'll let him tell the deets.

The pocket clip sheath is the second sheath of this type I've made, I wanted the fit loose so the clip wouldn't just let go when drawing the knife, so the snap was added for retention over the guard.
