Thanks Andy. It's kind of a little treasure to me, the memory is its real value.

Liked for the knife...not the stolen part... @GOG
Be neat if the circle at the hilt...could be made into a bottle opener.

SO, naturally when I want one they have quit making them! Nice, real nice pig-sticker... looks like a real handy little blade!Just remembered this thread... I was wrong (first time this year, LOL!) it wasn't a Cold Steel tanto...
I've had this SOG Tsunami tanto fighting knife since about the late 90's... it's amazing, and sharp enough to shave with. This is the knife I wish I had in my kit back in the late 80's and early 90's!

That's an attractive knife. Is it a quality piece, with good heft and good balance? I have something similar, but it was made in Pakistan and I'm not proud of it. I think I paid ten bucks for it about twenty years ago. It looks good on my belt, but I'd never rely on it to be a self-defense weapon. Just the size if it might do the job, but I'm not one for testing the hypothesis...
I can relate. My dad bought a khanjar in Saudi Arabia decades ago. A khanjar is a short knife with a 90-degree scabbard set-up to be worn while riding a camel into combat. I have no idea how old was that knife, but it was bought in the early 1970s; it also showed lots of wear, dings and dents in the scabbard. Some batsard stole the knife and scabbard that was hanging on a teak screen by our front door in the upstairs living room of our house. Also stolen were a pair of Alaskan mukluks handmade in the early 1950s when my dad was up there as a young man in the Army. Both items are irreplaceable in these present days. My dad will be 93 in February and his days of traipsing all over Saudi are long behind him. I hope the vile thief who stole my dad's khanjar someday has it turned against him and gets to feel its bite.... . . all of his and most of my tools were stolen during our house remodel around ten years ago.
I luvs me some yataghan....
