Dustar?  Made in/for Israel. Good looking fighters, a couple smaller knives. 2 of them are obvious Randall 14 wannabes.

I have two "Ranger" knives.  One has a color case finish, the other was parkerized.  I also have a "combat" knife.  It was designed and tested with feed back from use in El Salvador.  We were well trained in their use, and they were used for their intended purpose. Attachment Attached File

That picture is from South America.  I was issued the UZI while working there. We for some reason were not allowed M16A1s.   It came with a wobbly folding stock. I could shoot it better out to 100 meters (semi) with the fixed stock. It was a sterlle (Iranian) weapon marked like the one in the picture.  We also had MP5SD3s.

My dad is 76 years old and still carries his every day.  It's the only knife I've ever seen him carry or use other than during deer season.  Just a couple of years ago he was alone ice fishing and for some reason set it down on the ice.  When he got home he'd realized he didn't have it and remembered setting it down.  He drove back to the lake the next morning, walked out on the ice and found it next to the iced over hole he'd fished the previous day.  He loves that knife.

Used to be given to all graduates. That stopped a few years ago bc nobody was actually using it and they’re expensive.

The Yarborough is a well made knife, but it’s HUGE. if you compare it to something like the Seal Knife 2000 is REALLY heavy. And a bit unwieldy. It would probably actually get used if the blade was an inch or two shorter.

I’ve also been issued

The knife was also produced with a PHROBIS marked blade for general military and commercial sales.
This version proved quite popular with the MARINES and NAVY personnel departing for the GULF campaign from the west coast.
The marked knives were produced mostly in black Zytel as well as a few in green.

I know that’s no help at all in figuring out what knife it is but this has turned into a cool thread nonetheless

All around fantastic company.  Obviously nto made in USA, but made in Italy works great.

I just sold a Selvans with the survival pack on the sheath, and kind of regret it.  I think they can be found My mind goes here first when thinking of a bushcraft / (Italian) army-issue archetype.

They've recently expanded their "Expedition" range, and they all look good:

Main purpose for the big knives was to give you something to keep razor sharp when on CQ or guard duty, other than that, they never left the sheath -- basically good luck charms

I had had that same Explorer survival knife.  Was a good knife for the $14 I payed for it.  Japanese made if I remember correctly.  Mine was stolen with my backpack out of my car when I was in my 20’s.

I have a knife I accquired through a trade in Iraq with a member our sister UK unit, 40 Commando. I think a spare rain poncho and spare Esbit stove with a box of heat tabs facilitated that trade.  Since we moved last year, it is *somewhere* in the garage, and I should probably find it. It is large, and a choppping knife for sure. It's exceedingly heavy and I have used it cutting line in the bush, and it excels at splitting kindling for fires solely based on it's weight. When I was on the book of faces, a member of that unit told me it was an arctic survival knife. It looks kind of this one here, but is in much rougher shape.

Standard MoD survival knife, kinda common in UK various manufacturers like Martindale and J. Adams…
Etsy one has been polished.  Latest ones have polymer scales and come in a MTP camo sheath.
