Only difference is that one of them has a polished blade.

Uh, yes. Not shure where you got the impression that I thought otherwise. In fact, according to Ragnar's website:
Quote:
#740-MG; This is the same knife with a military green handle and sheath, and a carbin steel blade. The first run of these seems to have been a factory error, but proved so popular we asked for more. The military green is normally supplied with a stainless blade.

No good, I've known too many Swedes.


1) I was just checking.
2) It's not a factory error. Carbon steel performs much better than stainless at low temperatures. Stainless just goes brittle.
3) The Swedish Army, unlike the British one, takes pains to equip it's soldiers with good quality equipment. Which is why it's a recommendation.
