    Man, I had a buddy as a kid who had one of those. I tried to trade him everything, including the kitchen sink once, for it, but he never budged.

    Last time I talked to a mutual friend of ours (about 6 or 7 years), that friend informed me that he was carrying that knife on him, when he got into a fight and was arrested for ag assault with a deadly and a felony weapons possession (daggers weren't legal in Texas to carry back then), seems he'd been in for a couple of years at that point and had another seven or eight to go. Damn thing is sitting in an evidence box somewhere...when it could be nice and safe in my safe right now.

    And maybe that dip shit wouldn't have made stupid decisions. No...on second thought, he was an idiot when we were kids and I'm sure he's still an idiot now.

    Man, I haven’t thought about those Teknas in a looooong time... like 30+ years. I had a major hard on for them when I was in scouting. Plus, I read all those Nick Carter "killmaster" novels, and he had some sort of skeletonized dagger strapped to his wrist that he was always giving evil doers the business with. What a blast from the past.

    .
    I carried that Tekna all over western China and Tibet in 1987-1990. A lot of the areas I spent time in were very primitive, and no westerners had been there since Przewalski’s expeditions in the late 1800s. If you were male, you needed a visible fixed blade knife. No knife meant you had no status. I can’t count how many times people tried to trade for my Tekna.

    Still have at least one Tekna from the 1980s. At one time had the black one as well, a security card, and a fixed blade with a spring retractable blade cover.

    Well that is cool. $119 shipped, and you can get a spare sheath for $5.95. One time my Tekna sheath broke when I was diving on the Yucatán but I was able to recover the knife and glue the sheath with epoxy.
