The Airforce Survival Knife is a classic.
I've used mine for over 30 years and it just keeps chugging along Hunting, Camping, Cook Outs & Car Trips ... Just don't try to fly Commerical with it!

That's pretty cool; great piece of history. Those old strobes still work if you can get a CR123 adapter....both of mine are still functional.

I've longed for details about that leg holster since seeing it in The Glorious Reference Manual ©™®, United States Combat Aircrew Survival Equipment World War II to the Present: A Reference Guide for Collectors

I’ve read that about 100 were made as a development test but pilots found it got in the way in the cockpit and flopped around too much when walking, and especially when running.

I have temp access to old strobes, but lack the batts. Info on the 123 batt adaptor would be extremely useful. time-essential. @ROCK6 Quote HistoryQuoted:

Very interesting video, thanks.
I didn't expect nearly that much stuff to come out of there. Every essential is covered. A priority you don't see much today is avoiding infection. That kit had two different anti-bacterial creams, antibiotics, insect repellent, malaria pills, etc. Guessing that came from some hard lessons learned? |

Greetings all - I just stumbled upon this page and realize i am very late to the conversation - however I thought some of you might like to know my friend wrote a book on this survival kit back in June 2016 (the print version he put together in May 2017).
It is available in either print form (on Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble) and also as an ebook on Kindle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1546790438 * https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/survival-kit-individual-lightweight-army-leg-holster-james-a-b-mahaffey-jr/1126440646 * * Same price for both print versions - $25.95 and the ebook is $9.99 - https://www.amazon.com/Survival-Kit-Individual-Lightweight-Holster-ebook/dp/B01H9LU67E He has been collecting US Military survival kits and gear since he was 9 years old. He even includes scans of the first "Organizational and DS Maintenance Manual for Army Survival Kits - TM 55-8465-206-13. Cheers, xray1zero aka Sig |
