The military contract ended several years ago, they issue the MP600 now. Any patent on the MIL-K has expired as well.
So any one making them now is free to copy or modify the original.

I've never seen the Ontario version. I saw the Colonial at our local gun & knife show and wasn't impressed with the can & bottle opener.

I waned to retire my MIL-K so I took a chance on the Marbles 278 G.I., I'm happy with it. The same 440A as the MIL-K but the springs are lighter so maybe springs will hold up better. At the time I think they were $9.00, the same store has them for $12.00 now.

My two are Camillus.  The '77 was bought off a PX in Germany and gifted me by my cousin. The '05 was bought several years ago.

The two I have now are dated 2003 & 1994.
My original had the stud on the cap lifter but it was stolen out of my foot locker.
Sometimes I'll look for a 1971-73 on the bay but they are to used or the seller is to proud of it.

Been carrying the Case Stockman the past few days. Does a svord peasant count as a traditional?

The Schrade USA 175 came in.... I like it, very solid but dull as a butter knife. Working on the edge now.  :D

Very ice Schrade USA 175.
The more I see a sheepsfoot blade as a main blade the more I like them.

I'm one of those types who will post a smurfy comment when someone says a thread or post made them buy a knife. No apologizes I'm just an evil smurf.
So my question is has this thread made anyone buy a new knife?
It'll be here monday :facepalm:

Traditional Challenge, Day 26

We're headed to the county fair today to see the antique tractor pull.  I think a Barlow will be appropriate.

In the second pic you can see that I got the kick height sorted on my Sowbelly.  Thanks for the advice--it is much more comfortable now!  Neither the spey or the sheepsfoot had been adjusted at all at the factory.  Now for some time on the stones to correct the edges and I'll have a great knife.  They must have had the new guy sitting at the honing bench when this one came down the line.

Thanks Dean and Robert!  That adjustment not only helped the sheepsfoot from standing so proud, it also improved the ergonomics.  My thumbnail finds the nick so much easier--just slide it along the spine of the clip, and there she is.

That copperhead is a beaut, and it's good to see you supporting the best dealer out there, IMO!  ;)  I have my eye on that walnut trapper of his.
