QCI. Winchester, I have to disagree with your friend. I have a D.R. Russell knife and it is my favorite fixed blade knife. Holds an edge well, sharpens easily compared to others that hold an edge well, and it's ergonomics are great.

That is one of my favorite songs. I'll always associate it with the 4th of July 1968. We were guarding a new bridge east of Chu Chi. There was an Arvin compound across the river and they would play it over loudspeakers. It sounded even more hauntingly eerie echoing over the water.
