From… www.chinaknifes.com Currahee is a Cherokee Indian word, probably meaning that stands alone —- a hero, brave. In 1942, a group of young men gathered in Toccoa, Georgia to form a new paratrooper training camp, and then every day in the mountains near the train called Currahee. The team, which later became the 101st Airborne Division’s 506th, which was later made into a E with “Band of Brothers”in the company. The 506 Group’s training mission is Currahee. As airborne, once parachuting, will not support, they group helpless fighter. They need to hold together, to fight alone. This is the Cherokee Currahee means: “no one to help, it yourself”,” we stand alone togerther “. Therefore, Currahee is an Indian word, a mountain, also on a spiritual one.

While all automatics have a strong forbidden fruit cachet among cutlery users, its the out-the-fronts (OTFs in auto geek lingo) that really increase their pulse rate. And of that general cutlery category, the modern double-action out-the-fronts are the most sought after. I think all of us find the functioning of these knives a little like magic. Push the release forward and the blade snaps straight out of the hollow handle and locks into place. Nothing too unusual there. It is when you pull the release back a short distance and the blade snaps closed just as fast as it opened, that you start wondering, how did they do that? Microtech, one of the leaders in the new generation of auto makers, has long favored OTFs for many of their models. Their latest introduction is the Combat Troodon family of blades. (I vaguely knew a Troodon was a type of dinosaur but didnt know much more than that. After Googling, I found it was a relatively small, bird-like animal around 6-feet high that may have had feathers. Like its more famous cousin, the Velociraptor of Jurassic Park, it had a large, hooked talon on each hind leg well suited for use as a tactical knife.) Currently, blade options for the Combat Troodon include a full double-edge blade, a clip-point, a wharncliffe point, and the ever-popular tanto point. All of these blades are S30V stainless and vary from around 3-3/4 inches to 4 inches depending on point style. Serrations and a wide variety of blade finishes are available as …

Microtech Combat Troodon Review October 2009, OTF, out the front,

The Combat Troodon is a precision made, out-the-front tactical knife. It is 25% larger than the flagship, the Troodon. It brings the slender handle, contoured shape, radical design elements, and a sophisticated internal mechanism which improves operational functionality and reliability to a larger scale. The Combat Troodon is designed for a broad spectrum of utility and close quarter combat applications. Specifications Troodon – “Wounding tooth” Action: Dual Action Auto Fire and Retract Blade Length: 3.75″ Blade Steel: S30V Blade Thickness: 0.095″ Glass Break: Tungsten tip glass break Handle: 6061-T6 Aluminum Mil Spec Hard Coat Anodize Handle Thickness: Sculptured Tapered Min 0.304″ Max 435″ Length Open: 9.10″ Length Closed: 5.20″ Pocket Clip: 301 Spring Tempered, Ambidextrous Weight: 5.3 oz.

Thank you for watching another video description by The Hollow Grind. This video features the Microtech Combat Troodon Double edge plain blade. It is quite a large knife and features a 3.75 inch blade. Solid construction, flawless operation, and a slim handle create a great looking and effective knife. Being a combat knife, it is quite large and is fitting for its name. You can find this knife and others at www.thehollowgrind.com

The SOG Fusion Fixation Bowie knife achieves quite a lot for its reasonable price and will connect with a lot of knife enthuisasts. SOG has wisely answered the trend of high value, high quality blades with their Chinese-produced “Fusion” line of blades. The Fixation Bowie is a favorite of mine in the series. Measuring out at the same as a KaBar Combat knife (7″ blade), the Fixation looks to be a good choice as a deployment, light survival, or all-around outdoor blade. The 8Cr13Mov steel, similar to AUS-8, should hold an edge adequately (like the Spyderco “Byrd” models do), be easy to sharpen, and offer some rust resistance. Other upsides include: a hammer-capable pommel (love those!), nice long handle, excellent jimping on the thumb ramp, good quality Cordura nylon sheath with a sharpener pocket, and excellent fit and finish throughout. All this weighs in at a very packable 12.8 ounces… great job SOG! Downsides might include a delicate tip, less-than-sharp factory edge, and a handle material that is reminiscent of vinyl (but has sharp checkering). Nevertheless, the SOG Fixations -ish pricetag makes it a steal and it will attract cash-strapped knife addicts like Rosie ODonnel to free donuts. ////////////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 9 out of 10 (price considered)
