Hello all.

I am currently deployed to Tinian in the Pacific tropics. I have lots of knives, but only one seemed like the right choice for the salty, humid and hot environment.

Now I know what you are thinking. Sure, it can look pretty and pose for the camera, but can it open a coconut?

Yes. Yes it can.

That is Rota island in the back ground.



P.S. Some deployments are better than others. wink

Man how things have changed. Since when does jungle camo include shorts and flip-flops? Son, you need to remember you're in the Marines, not the Air Force!

JJ, just remember to thank any remaining WWII Veterans who fought in the Pacific Theater; they fought through Hell there 70 years ago. wink Looks like Paradise now! smile

I was out hunting and lost my WD in the field. I think maybe my War Dog "washed up" on a tropical island. Thanks for keeping it sharp for me JJ.

You're welcome DT.

I did a lot of reading up on this place before coming here. This island is full of history, the perfect amphibious seizure, the Enolla Gay, Chamorros ...

As for the cargo shorts and flip flops ... I'm under cover doing counter insurgency operations. wink

Oops. Now I have to kill whoever read that.
