And If I remember correctly they are both Mil over run knives aren't they? I know Top one is a mil overrun. Thats the only one I have. JYD #113 I'm getting to old for this Stuff................

It is adds less weight to my pack when hiking/cycling/camping and the original is more of a fighting design especially after my mod to it. The original Mil Overrun functions great as a utility blade, but is more suited for a combat zone than a relaxing weekend in the woods. If I am deployed, I would leave the 6.5 at home and bring the Reg Bayonet. Chances are I wouldn't/won't need the fighting characteristics of the Reg Bayonet even in a combat zone, but I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. If I could only keep an original non-modified Reg or the 6.5, I'd go with the 6.5 for it's usability and weight. Hope that helps. Thank you!

And the longer clip point seems to belong there. Even more so with the TT version if a fighter is wanted. As a field knife I don't worry about prying and the extra length lends itself to a little chopping if necessary. Last edited by Hooker; 03/19/11 04:56 AM.
