Wtf? When did united go under?

MOLLE is a modular nylon / gortex / rubber mounting attachment system that allows a user to configure their webbing, patrol pack etc in a way that is easy accessible to items / pouches via straps or clips like the old Alice clip system.

Very noice knives. I will see what I can find on UC.

The Gerber LMF II came in today, awesome bit of kit and sturdy knife with weight behind it

[oncedisturbed]

Just checked, UC are still operating and not gone under. They partnered with the USMC in 2013 and the producers of the hobbit for rights to make their products.

Good thing butter never came in tubs back then , you'd end up spreading someone's fingers.
next big knife I think will be Nachez bowie, or Arkansas toothpick.
Know how to display them now, biggest down to the smaller ones I have

[oncedisturbed]

I want to do the same with bayonets when I have enough, going to mount them in a fan pattern like a rising sun emblem.

Here are some promised pics. You can see the size difference and similarities of the blade, the orange version being a non military style size.
