Of course Randal Made Knives developed the Astro for the Mercury 7. I never quite figured out why you’d need a 5 ˝” sheath knife in a space capsule. Except for “Just in case.” Or “You never can tell.” That’s also why I carry knives.
It is an environment in which, should things go bad, you might need a sharpened pry bar. If I had to pick I’d take the Dumpster Mutt rather than the Astro any day.
