OMG! I should have known better! LOL
Like somebody said before, its probably lack of detail and the automated patch making more than anything else.
Everything I have ever seen has said it the V42 because of the 1st SSF connection. If they had used a Smatchet like they should have, that "poetic license" wouldn't be necessary. LOL

That's what I was also thinking. Maybe they could not detail the knife enough when designing the SF Crest, too small for detailed design.

I'm sure the limitations of the patch making machines have a lot to do with getting detail right. In "knife world" here, shape means things and very subtle shape changes can make a knife work and fell differently. I wasn't questioning tradition, just the details. Who do I call to get the smatchet put on there?

I will need two samples for photography and extended destructive testing.
The V-42 on the crest looks a lot like an A-F, so a couple of A-Fs could work as well.

Some questions if you don't mind
What about this patch? What knife is it? And Who does it belong to.
I don't have the answers I'm seeking knowledge, thank you

New V42 from Mick Strider. Very nice. I need one. Photo credits to Strider Knives and Usual Suspects.Net - an excellent website for knives and gadgets of all kinds.

I need it. I'll work on him. We have a co-founder of USN on here, maybe he has some pull? LOL

LOL - I wouldn't worry about it Mr. Harsey. There's always some 18Xer behind you trying to take your place. Us "experienced" operators rarely lose the upper hand.
