This one would have made Ernie famous even if he'd only designed one knife. It was a real departure from anything else available at the time - exceptionally strong w/a TI frame & bolsters, thick steel blade with a tanto armor piercing thick tip design, & great in-hand ergos. At one time it was closely associated with private purchases by SEALs, and an instant classic that was copied by everyone but duplicated by NO ONE. This one is Old School Cool w/a Threaded Bolster, Great Buff Line, Aggressive Grind, No Wave, No Box & No Papers
