This
knife and a scabbard I made early in my naval career and I carried it
throughout my whole time aboard the LCI 222. I got to where I could
throw it at a coconut tree and hit a target the size of a quarter from
a good distance back. I thought it might come in handy sometime
but fortunately I never needed to test my skill. The aluminum in
the knife came from an old air plane that had crashed on one of the
islands we went to and the leather was some surplus leather from aboard
our ship. I can't remember where I got the blade but I put it all
together. I felt it was quite an accomplishment
