Just like I told my last wife, I said, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see, besides that, it's all in the reflexes".

I got mine in late 1985 when I was in the Army because the sheath came with Alice clips to attach it to my web gear. It has the Tac-II logo, then below it, "First Production Run - 1985". The tang stamp says, "Bench Mark by Gerber" with a serial # stamped on the other side. It cost $80 in 1985 - lot of money for a Private back then. (according to an online inflation calculator, that would be $234 in 2024 dollars) I bought it before Jack Burton made it famous. We were allowed to carry our personal knives in the field, but not in garrison. I didn't know it was going to become a collector's item some day, so used the heck out of it, but it still looks remarkably good. It's also a bitch to sharpen by hand, but holds an edge forever.

I actually have this knife and love it for the looks. Bought it off a fellow Marine who was getting out in 91. Didn’t realize it was actually worth something.

The first time I watched Big Trouble in Little China was when I stayed home sick from middle school with a nasty flu. My dad stopped off on his way home from work and picked up a couple VHS tapes from the local movie rental store (before Blockbuster) I had the weirdest fever dreams that night.

People know boundaries, bullets do not. This should be the first rule of any weapons handling instruction. Inexperienced people that use firearms have no care or regard where that projectile goes. 90 seconds in and Corporal has taught a life lesson already.

You leave Jack Burton alone! We are in his debt. He showed great courage.

You just listen to the old Pork Chop Express now and take his advice on a dark and stormy night when the lightnings crashing and the thunders roling and the rains coming down in sheets thick as lead. Just remember what old Corporals Corner always says at a time like this. If it raining we ain't training!

[reubencdebaca]

Spot on with the Big Trouble in Little China, a classic that must be seen!

[CthonicSoulChicken]

"It's all in the reflexes." And you got the shirt, too! Well done.

[devildog]

That movie is definitely an American classic.Cheesy, campy, and damned fun to watch.

Ah Kurt a long-time hero, not just Jack Burton, but Snake Pliskin, and a fellow pilot and gun enthusiast. Seen tha movie many times.

When they ask you Jack have you paid your dues....you look them dead in the eye and tell them "That check is in the mail."

When I was 9 I got the Gerber Mark II for my birthday. 37 years later and I still have it. Gerber made good knives back then. Big Trouble in Little China is one of my favorite movies. This was an awesome vid.

i have two of them and a pork chop express coffee mug.

Your videos are pretty cool and educational. They teach and entertain at the same time. To be honest, I miss the over night videos when you would put together a decent shelter. “It ain’t raining, we ain’t training” ones. And then instead of a quick together meal in a can or soup, you would put together a meal something out of a cook book style!
I’m sure you have a busy life and all kinds of things going on. Just stating a fact that your old style overnight videos were awesome. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. Those videos bring mad views.
Salute to you corporal.

You can fix that handle with a mold (using the other side of the knife for the correct dimensions), superglue, and baking soda... also some black dye or acrylic paint to make it look the same color.
Just a friendly tip, one man of culture to another.

[pauleddy]

You are indeed correct sir! A must see, some would say cult, movie. Egg Shen, RIP Victor, had a wonderful line . . ."Of course the Chinese mix everything up. Look at what they have to work with. There's Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoist alchemy and sorcery. We take what we want and leave the rest. Just like your salad bar." The Lo Pan "Mr. Burton" lines are so, so quotable. "Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to 'get it!'" There are too many little jokes and one liners to catch in one viewing. Buy the DVD.
BTW, nice knife.

[eggheadwarrior]

A - you're wrong. B - you need to. LOVE IT!!!

[rickyfargason]

Yes. Great movie! I saw it back in the 80s and was amazed by the action in this movie that kinda went under the radar. I've always been a fan of Kurt Russell. One of my favorites is Used Cars, a hilarious movie if you get a chance to see it.
