Yes. Both those are made in the USA models. I only have one SA made Reeves, an aviator.

Bauchop knives were extremely popular with the Rhodesian Light Infantry, especially the Witch.
The South African Special Forces used it's larger sibling, the Warlock, often enough that books have mentioned it as being an issue blade.

Mugabe did screw up Rhodesia royally.

the Blackie Collins designed NINJA.

I used to have a Blackie Collins Ninja Roo. I think we may have read the same magazine. My Ninja was stolen from my car years ago. I don't recall what steel it was made of. (It just seems so natural to end a sentence in a preposition...don't you think?) Do you happen to recall.

Willeboy,
As a matter of fact, I do. Most ninjas hade 4" by 1" blades of 440c, and were semi hollow-ground. Some were machined, some hand-ground.
Occasionally, the blades were made of sandvik 13c-26 swedish hi-carbon steel.
The handles had the most variations. Some were of a soft lexon, some a hard lexon. Some were Dupont Rynite fibreglass-filled polyester.
I have maybe a dozen of them, in a couple of grinds and finishes. I also have a couple of the double edged version, called the moray. One of them was owned and carried by Colonel Rex Applegate.
I do love my Ninjas.
