Yea, my first knife was a TOPS

(nearly new)

Steel Eagle 111-A

I did put through some heavy use, prying stuff. It wasn't that great of a chopper, and the chainsaw patterning saw back was only minimally useful.

It was cool knife.

Though now it's just a relic since my friend broke the tip from tip-prying.

I also got my nastiest cut from this knife. 3 stitches along the thumb. It's still sharp as heck as well. I can easily shave with it.

BTW, it's also a really good throwing knife.

Thanks Rick, though that I got my cut from the knife quite some time ago and I have little to no scarring.

The Trace Rinaldi Design is definitely at bit more functional design than the 111A. They got rid of the horrible jimping everywhere and made the handle much more comfortable.

I wish I wish i could get a TR Custom Armageddon in 3v but those run for a ridiculous price of 1200.

Oddly enough, I still don't own a Kukhri. Of course, I'd like to get a good one. Might just spend 50 and get a CS one.

I have just started to collect kukris. I love them. My first one was brought back by a friend from a trip to Nepal my second was mail order from Nepal. I have a few others too like the bush hog.
