Thank you Bruno;
When I first got here; I didnt own a knife; I felt and still do feel, that an hand to hand conflict will never happen with us as we are on the defensive side, not on the offensive. My AK or my Glock will serve the purpose well, than a tac blade.
I was gifted a "blade" by one of my outgoing mates; he had seen enough action (lol). It's a nice Columbia River (CRKT), barely 4 inches long (blade) but sharp enough to make the British SAS pocket saw look like a toy~!
The local boys on my team wear big East European bloc 1970's 1980's machetes just to look cool; forecast - not going to be using it!
I use it many a times on difficult cans of tomato sauce and on one occassion to slash the seat belt of my client, to cross deck.
Have a great day mate!

goodboy_mentor ji -
Thank you for the warm welcome. Attaching a pic just to give a small glimpse of the "experience" tale you want to hear. A pic speaks a thousand words and I think it will sum up good.
This is an F-350 Ford V8 diesel power house. Uparmored to B6 specifications and can withstand small - med arms fire and a grenade. Unfortunately this came in close contact with a VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device), but of small magnitude. No casualties reported.
Godspeed.
