Inspired by another classic, the Marbles. I had so much joy as a child with mine, woods romping, armed with my trusty military knife, which as any kid knows, is the best knife in the world.

As for the variations out there, although assumptions such as sterile UDT on the plated may be hopeful, it seems to me likewise many skeptical approaches just as unproven on many.

That is what is so neat about them. ANYthing is possible. Same with a plain unaltered wartime. A dogged knife may only have been tied to a hood as an ornament on a jeep, and a near perfect one may have been used only one time in a critical mission. The old stuff has that magic about it, untold and never known stories.
