If you're engaged in urban combat in Iraq or Afghanistan, the Cold Steel OSS will provide you with a wickedly effective defensive blade should you need one... and you just might. Don't underestimate the need for one: the history of even modern combat is replete with stories of how a large fixed blade saved troops' lives. At just 13.2 oz when configured with a Tek-Lok fastener, the OSS offers unparalleled reach and speed for a blade of this size. More importantly it won't kill your load out. The thermoplastic sheath retains well, the 420 (or AUS8) steel keeps an edge, and the kraton handle is grippy and will prevent forward slides during a plunge cut. The Tek-Lok is a necessary addition to make the extraction one-hand capable and to prevent sheath migration on your LBE. I wouldn't recommend this knife to mounted troops as it will interfere with vehicle dismount. Also it is more of a purpose built fighter with limited utility applications. However if you're pounding dirt and your propensity of having a deadly encounter is HIGH, then you should make an OSS your traveling companion. At this price AND weight, few knives can match its ferocity.//////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9 out of 10, 2011 flat ground San Mai III OSS: 10 out of 10
