SMF MCSOCOM DET 1 #C0037


To me (and I am not on my own) "The" SMF of all SMF's, is a DET 1. 
A true Icon in knife history to me, and next June this knife will have her 10th birthday.



Many, maybe even a few thousands (?) SMF's have been made over the years.
There can two one C0037, one of the very first SMF's ever, how cool.



It's sharp, it's flawless, dead centered after a minor adjustment, strongest detent I even had on a SMF.
The LBS was most certainly not needed on this beauty, stiff and solid like a rock.
