Has anyone seen or heard Larry Adler playing Slaughter on 10th Avenue? I have been searching for years. There was a Columbia vinyl record of this but I never was able to find it again after I was a kid. Maybe it wan't Larry Adler, but it was played with Harmonica along with a full orchestra. Help!

Nice review! Still, keep in mind that this is a tactical knife which was never designed as a bushcraft knife. Everything regarding the handle and blade was aimed towards the tactical end of things. Not that it can't be used as a bushcraft tool, but the Bark River Bravo 1 is better suited for that...
