There is a unit up for auction on EBAY under the survival category. Seller states the standard survival knife has been officially discontinued and this is supposedly the new model. It may be just another ' next generation' civilian variant. Serendipity, I located a mint old model at a garage sale for $10 and bought it with a pavlovian reaction to the gear of my misspent youth. looking over it again, theres a lot worse out there! <br><br>
