Yes it is a Rosarms baby.
Here is a photo of a Rosarms you probably have not seen before.
It has the exact same style of blade as the C7 bayonet I got today.

Here is their new expedition knife which is a kukuri style blade which apparently dwarfs the Baby.


I am falling in love with the shiny and am even polishing my INFI.

I wrote this for the Swamp, but it should help you figure it out. The process is similar. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

How to post pics on this forum

Just to show that some things never change in jolly old England, and because some here may be unfamiliar with that old fashioned writer, Rudyard Kipling...

Tommy

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!

Unsub, great photo.....shows very little has changed....the Canadians still have the best kit in S'tan. Their .50 is a Macmillan - here is the link -http://www.mcmfamily.com/mcmillan-rifles-tactical-tac-50.php. We and the US have semi auto Barrets...nowhere near as accurate at ELR...to many moving parts.Thanks for the offer of help....very much appreciated.Rosarms look great but as you say "shiny"....sandblasted would be very interesting.

But, how do you reckon the Canadian got a hold of a Kukri? Nylons or Whisky trade? Maybe cigarettes?

Andy, this is a great help. Got my photobucket membership done. Need to learn the rest of it....got a family birthday today so have to leave the computer...upsetting a few from being on it too much!

RajunCajun, in the early 70's there were Puma's, Opinel and Normark lock knives due to Whitby being the main UK wholesaler. Then Framar Hammerli brought in loads of goodies from the States...early 80's...Spyderco, SOG, Benchmade, all became available but most soldiers pockets stretched to a Buck or Gerber basic Hunter lock knife. Now, their pockets are no deeper unless you become an enthusiast and somehow find the money....with internet shops like Hiennie Haynes the choice is very varied.
Law changes seem to be bringing back slip joints so that carrying all the time is not a problem. Spyderco UK knife is popular for this and the wave leatherman tools as well plus the all conquering SAK. For the money...Opinels have always remained popular....but there is a lot of crap being bought from the Far East which cannot take an edge but looks good.YOU WOULD BE SUPRISED HOWEVER AT HOW MANY SOLDIERS CANNOT SHARPEN A KNIFE PROPERLY AND HAVE NO DESIRE TO DO SO.....A HUGE MAJORITY.

For my money this is the single biggest failing....I have sharpened knives for Colonels to Private Soldiers....they are amazed at how sharp a knife can get and actually seem afraid of the edge initially.

Implume, he was a great poet our Mr Kipling....Tommy is one of my favourites!

Yes, very shiney.

Sweet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I know what you mean, I'm about to add one to my collection...me like shiney too. I was thinking of the fox-1, but there they have a few designs that I like.

I'm thinking about a couple of other's, but not sure at this time if I want to pull the trigger.

Thanks for the info Steel Fan, I have a cousin in Afghanistan right now and I want to buy him a knife to replace the Buck Omni he insists on carrying (nothing against Buck).
I wanted to get him a DMDC, but he says he would rather a folder, so I am looking at Spideys and Benchmades.
I know this has been discussed to death, but I'd love a SY folder.

Here are some pics of my ROSarms Stalker, it's a very beautiful knive.

Very nice. That one looks finished Shaolin, on their site the Stalker looks satin or matte? I like the finished look better.

Man, if you guys keep posting pics you are going to peer-pressure me into buying one tonight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My pics of the blade itself does it no justice. It is very highly polished steel. It would be more satin then matte for sure.

Rajun, I got a Benchmade in the early 80's...one of their designer series, a Walter Brend liner lock in ATS 34 which I have carried everywhere....the titanium rollers make one hand opening easy and edge holding is great. It is light to which is a bonus. For me these are a nicer looking knife than a Spyderco.....I will post a pic of this once clued up as to how.
