Don't put your finger where you wouldn't put your face!!!
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Ipad doesn't want to post pictures very well, so I hope this Smartphone can do it20160317_154938.jpg
Is a Gatekeeper from around 1997. This one is different in that, when I carried it as a law enforcement officer close to 20yrs ago, it wouldn't cut well at all. Tried a seatbelt, and what a disaster (car was upside down too.) Original design looked great, but functioned very poorly. Was pure "stabber," with next to no slashing ability. Sent it to a Japanese Master Bladesmith, and the results are in pic. He reshaped the blade, sharpened it on Japanese water stones, stropped it with newspaper, and I'm not kidding when I say a person could shave their face with it, lol. I've cut a piece of 550 paracord with it, and it scared me. Lol! I know hardcore collectors will cringe, but for functionality, this piece is now very effective. image.jpg
Also, thank you all for the welcome!
