Both of my #1s are newer versions of this landmark design by Bo Randall lo those many years ago. The first one features a micarta commando handle with NS fittings and black sheath. Here are two images of this one:




The second one features a green micarta handle with finger grooves and a brass guard. These are two very different knives. The one below is lighter, faster in hand and nicely balanced. The first one is a little more handle-heavy, has a comfortable grip and is, how shall I say - better looking. However, the flared edge of the NS butt cap makes it less comfortable if worn on a belt. Which one is best for actual service in a military theatre? In my opinion, the one below.
