great military blade
I've owned an M73 Kontos for a couple of years, now. It's a really good, no nonsense military utility knife. Reminds me a bit of the Seabee's (or CBs) knives of WW2- the track pin pommel doubles as a field hammer, and the blade stock is thick enough to pry open a crate if needed.ANV developed it for use by the T72 tank crews of the 73rd Czech tank battalion, although it's unclear if it's actually issued to them or not. The 3D machining of the handle scales is really good- you have to feel them to understand how good the ergonomics are....Think I'd prefer a leather sheet to the Kydex that it comes with, but it's a perfectly good design. An interesting addition to my collection...!
