Switchblades with Easter Eggs
« on: March 01, 2024, 05:24:37 AM »
The Benchmade Mini Claymore automatic knife like mine, and the full-size Claymore knife, both have Easter Eggs in the form of Morse Code molded into the Grivory handles. Grivory is a blend of things like Nylon 6T/66 with glass fibers similar to Zytel, or similar composites, and can replace metals for many uses. The Morse Code on the knife handles ..-.  -  . is the letters FTE. I really didn't get what that meant it until someone at Benchmade explained it to me, then I felt kind of dumb. It's short for Front Toward Enemy, as is molded onto the front of every M18A1 Claymore mine. :-[  And just like my Milspin Snap-Back Velcro Hat with a Curved FRONT TOWARD ENEMY Metal Morale Patch. Mine is OD Green Cerakoted brass on a black cap just like in the picture.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783
