Beautiful and well-chosen gifts for your retirement. Congratulations and enjoy your free time.

My latest acquisition: a Gerber
Provided as a souvenir to Regional Commando (South) Support Squad in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2009. 43 Mechbrig supplemented with a platoon from the KCT.

RC(S) is a so-called composite headquarters. This means that there is no 'block replacement' after six or nine months, but that individuals change positions at different intervals.

From November 1, 2008 to November 1, 2009, RCS was under Dutch command of Major General Mart de Kruif.

The lids on sewerage manholes are made of heavy solid cast iron. The lids are rarely removed and they have a primitive lock and key to open. Most of the time the lock doesn't open very easy. It takes a lot of effort to turn the key around.
In 1960 someone had an idea: Use your DAK to put on some extra power to the key!

Funny!   In the US locking manhole covers are unusual.  I work in this industry and can't imagine the leverage from the average DAK/SAK would help turn a lock incorporated into a manhole cover.  Sometimes we have to pound them with a 5-lb hammer repeatedly to break them loose, and then pry them up with a lever tool.  It can take a Conan the Barbarian amount of effort depending on its location and how long it's been sitting.

Last week I received an English “Jack knife” – T. Turner & Co.(1946), but the package also contained a completely different knife.

It's not a DAK, not even a military knife (so it probably doesn't belong here), but I'm very happy with it.

It’s A barrel knife

The knives used for hunting and fishing have an ingenious mechanism. The folding 10 cm steel blade with copper scales is housed in the barrel-shaped handle (125 mm) made of birch wood. The blade is released by pressing a ribbed steel lever at the end of the handle. The folded blade can then be pulled out of the handle, opened and then pushed back in and through the handle until it locks into place. The knife measures 230 mm. overall length when assembled for use.

One bowl is sharply dated 1874, along with Johan Engström's 'arrow JE' trademark. The blade is marked 'JOH ENGSTROM ESKILSTUNA'.

The barrel knife was a Swedish specialty. For decades the knifemakers of Eskilstuna turned out incredible numbers of these knives, and shipped them to many countries all over the World.

Johan's Engstrom factory was founded in 1874 and closed in 1915.
