Knife Emergency
The Al Mar Sere Operator borrows its design from the popular Sere 2000 folding knife and makes for one of the toughest production fixed blades on the market today. I recently got a good deal on this knife and here are my honest opinions:
What I like about the knife:
1. At 5 inches long, the S30V blade comes extremely sharp right out of the box. S30V stainless steel is one of the most treasured blade steels in the knife world today, and for good reason. The Sere Operator has no problem holding its edge even after continuous use.
2. With so many knives being made overseas nowadays, it's becoming difficult to find any made in the U.S.A. Al Mar Sere Operators are made in the United States, and the quality reflects that.
3. Your Sere Operator will be made with a full tang that extends to the end of the handle. This feature gives the knife a lot of added strength and is much less likely to break when you need it most.
4. The molded sheath is perfect for tactical and emergency operations because it will not be affected by rain, snow or sand. The belt attachment is adjustable to allow for multiple carrying options.
5. Al Mar also offers the Sere Operator with a saw on the back of the blade, which gives you added functionality for wilderness survival or emergency situations.
What I didn't like:
I would like to see this knife available with partial or full serrations, but other than that I have nothing bad to say about the Sere Operator.
Overall:
Al Mar took a proven design and turned it into one of the most trustworthy fixed blades out there. I highly recommend this knife as a camping, military or emergency tool that will last a lifetime.

Camping Military
How long is military boot camp?
For a guy who is 18 years old and he is just leaving highshool and going after he graduates during the summer to take military boot camp, how long would he be away from home for?
I neeeeeed an accurate answer please.
You will only get an accurate answer when you say which branch of service he is joining up in and
As far as being away from home plan on it being his entire contract unless he takes leave and comes home to visit because more then likely he will not get assigned anywhere near his current residency

Gerber Multi
D.E.T.Multi-Plier® 600,or the freehand muti-tool made by gerber?
like both but no need Blasting Cap Crimper i not mass with exploives but looking for multi-tool that can take a beating my last pair broke it was the the pair for 600 for 60$ at wal mart and takes both hands to open the to i lested is made to open with 1 hand and ples dont make fun of my spelling
what multi-tool is better to buy
I can absolutely recommend the Gerber freehand multi-tool. After owning several multi tools over the past 6 years, it has been the Gerber that has survived my abuse and has always come up working. I recall that it was a bit more expensive than the others, but it has lated longer than four of the others put together, and it has "MacGiver'd" me out of several situations. It weighs a little bit over pound, but it's strong enough to do real work.

Gerber Gator
Gut hook knives help take some of the work out of skinning and dressing game. Every hunter should own at least one gut hook knife, and there are many to choose from when searching for the best one out there. Chances are, your not going to simply settle on one knife. There are 5 gut hook-hunting knives every hunter wants.
First, is a knife that is a must because it is a classic and has always been a popular knife; the Winchester 22-41789 Pakka Wood Large Fixed Blade Knife. This knife is a wonderful, reliable knife that is inexpensive. The blade is stainless steel and comes with a gut hook and a fine edge. The handle is pakka wood, which is a dark red colored wood that gives style as well as strength to the knife.
Another must have knife is the Gerber Blades 06932 Gator GH Folding Gut Hook Knife. It folds and locks back so the knife will never close on you. The blade is made from high carbon stainless steel and is a length of 3.75". It has an easy grip handle that is equipped with Kraton rubber for a better grip. The entire length of the knife with the blade open is 8.75". This knife is a full sized knife that folds, which is not very common and is said to be one of the best of its kind offered to the public.
Made by Gerber as well is the Freeman Gut Hook Hunter fine edge sheath knife-8465. The handle to this knife is pear wood that is strong and solid. It weighs 6.8 oz, with a blade length of 3.92". The entire length of the knife including the blade is 8.35". This knife was actually recognized in 2003 as one of the most favorable hunting knives ever made.
Another very popular knife that is a must have because it is so different and unique looking compared to the ordinary gut hook knife is the Cabela's outfitters series gut hook knife known as the trigger skinner knife. The edge of the knife is razor sharp and has a nickel, Vanadium and Tungsten in the alloy to enhance the capability of taking an edge very quickly. It has a small, fat, gut hook that measures 4 ½", with a 3/8" gap, and is 8½" length overall.
Last is the absolutely must have Kershaw Alaskan blade trader knife. It is equipped to switch to multiple blades; included is a AUS6A stainless steel gut hook blade for gutting that measures 6"; a 420J2 stainless steel blade for hunting that measures 3½", and a saw steel blade for sawing your game that measures 6". This knife is great because it gives you the opportunity to switch blades while using the same knife handle. The quick lock mechanism makes it easy and safe to switch blades in a matter of seconds. It also includes a leather sheath that is equipped with a holder for each individual blade. The overall weight of this knife is 11.6 oz. This knife is definitely top on my list of must have gut hook knives; and yet also includes two additional knives for sawing and hunting.
Right from my childhood, I loved knives. I roamed in jungles and had been on many wild ventures. In my opinion, hunting knife is the best companion when you are on any wild adventure trip. As there are many types of hunting knives available, the key is in selecting the right kind of knife. You are invited to visit http://www.huntingknivesreviews.net to learn more about hunting knives.
