So anyway Ive been hunting down certain knives for the collection, some of which are Pacific Cutlery knives. Dont ask why, I just like the combat knives that they put out back in the 80's.
I bought my first in the 80's and because the company wasnt that far from where I lived in CA. Three knives come to mind that they made before being taken over by Bali Song/Benchmade. First is the Timba, second is the Fer De Lance and lastly is the Timba w/o saw teeth on the back of the blade. I have the first two and check around often for the last.
So Im cruising eBay and there it is!!! My Timba w/o saw teeth to finish out the trilogy. As I read the header for the knife I see "carried in Afghanistan".:banghead: Dont get me wrong, I bought an EK knife to take with me if I was ever deployed to a combat zone. Figured I wanted a better fighting knife then the bayonet that we got issued.
Bu bu but this is a knife that cant be replaced! The seller lists it as "rare" but I list it as ruined and no longer worth anything. Heres the listing for you guys to tell me your thoughts about it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Timba-PRE-B...ible_Knives&hash=item3cdebc5265#ht_746wt_1153
