While for reasons of security, and possible sheeple alarmism, we do not discuss our firearms collection, we do discuss our blade collection. Luck, and a keen eye, have made our blade collection, a point of pride with S4 L.L.C.

Keith's interest in blade collecting began with the movie Rambo, 1st Blood. To Keith, it represented the fact that a survival kife could surpass a firearm as an overall survival tool.

Keith's 1st. EDC Duty Knife was a Gil Hibben (Rambo III Designer) Tanto Survival Knife, ordered to Keith's Spec's. Keith carried it for about about a year at his command at DuPont Explosives, before he realized the knife was rare, and a collectible. It was one of only two made with a tanto blade, the sister blade being purchased from Gil by Sylvestor Stallone.

Once Keith realized the rarity of this knife, he put it into semiretirement, and ordered a replacement knife, a George Lainhart SEAL Team Knife, as his new EDT.

Keith soon learned that he may very well have the only military knife placed directly in civilian hands, and retired that as well.

As far as Keith is concerned, there are few pleasures greater than having a knife maker who knows you personally, and makes you a knife based on what they know about you. Golden Fang, top, is such  a knife made by Shakie Blades in FL. The neck knife, bottom, was a present for Kathy from Shakie. Roy, you rock!
