Not only veterans, everyone please chime in here. I have a close friend in the armed forces who will be going to Iraq in January, and he has asked me to build him an everyday-carry, fixed blade knife to take with him. I have made quite a few hunters, skinners, and camp knives, but have no experience with tacticals. He has left all of the details up to me, except that he wants a guard on it. I have some 1084, 1095, W1, W2, and 5160 i could forge it from, or I could grind it from some D2, 440C, or 154CM. I was thinking of canva micarta for the handle, but everything is open to suggestion, especially blade design and size. I don't Know if it matters, but my friend is a helicopter pilot. Any suggestions or advice are needed and much appreciated.
Thanks Guys,
Todd
