I've wished for a Pilot Survival Knife since 1968, when I first spotted one strapped to the flight suit of the USAF pilot climbing into the cockpit of the F-106 Delta Dart Interceptor I was Crew Chief on ("My Bird" as it was known at the time).
I still don't have one, but I did find this Camillus 1010 Astronaut-Jet Space Knife while investigating garage sales recently. It is the civilian version of the Pilot Survival Knife, and at one time was highly polished. Some say they are chromed, but I'm not sure on that point yet. It is dated 11-1968, shortly after I was assigned Crew Chief staus.
The lady didn't have any knives out at the time I asked, but the next day, she had a small box for me to look at. We met on what I still consider a fair price for both of us, and it came home with me, along with two other knives, and what looks to be an original equipment sharpening stone included. I plan to have the sheath re-riveted by my local leather shop someday. Nice knife, used but not abused.
