As many of you know, my brother and I are chipping in to buy a Swamp Rat M6 for a buddy of ours who's heading to A-Stan in a few weeks.  It arrived today.  This is a piece of quality gear.  I almost wish I didn't have to give it away.  The sheath was a bit tight when it arrived... very difficult to pull the knife out.  I took out the kydex insert, left the knife in it, and heated it with a blow dryer.  After a couple of minutes, it is perfect.  It's still snug, which is good, but it's drawable now.  Anyway, here's the obligatory pics, and 1 post closer to JYD for myself: ![[Linked Image from i6.photobucket.com]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/jbombelli/MickysM6.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i6.photobucket.com]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/jbombelli/MickysM6pic2.jpg)

Good deal. I have an M6 in a sheath just like that one. The M6 is a tank of a knife, suitable for the demanding uses soldiers may put their knives to. It will serve him well.  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> 
 Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

It definitely feels like a tank of a knife!  I'm impressed with it.  I am quite sure it could take ANY abuse he might throw at it.  It fits well in the hand, too.

That's a very cool thing you are doing. If it needs a good sharpening before or after, shoot me a PM.
