Zitat von Micha M.

Wenn Du hier irgendwann auch noch mal beiläufig ein Rhino auf den Tisch legst, wäre ich sehr begeistert, aber nur mäßig erstaunt...

Grad mal das Rhino gegoogelt...Geiles Teil... Ich glaube ich muss doch mal ein Emerson bei mir einziehen lassen..

Zur Geschichte vom Emerson Rhino findet man auch was auf Wikipedia.

Die Basis des Designs war das Commander.

The Commander has its origins with Emerson's CQC-8 or "Banana" folding fighting knife based on the Bob Taylor Warrior Knife and the Bill Moran ST-23: a knife designed with the blade in line for reverse grip or sabre grip fighting.[3] This knife became popular among the British SAS and the US Navy SEALs,[4][5] however the SEALs wanted something more aggressive so Emerson developed the SSRT(Silent Sentry Removal tool) model: a larger, hooked blade with a serrated, doubled-edged spine.[3] This blade's profile resembled the horn of a Rhinoceros and its more popular name is the Rhino.[6] The blade folded below the level of the handle scales so the user could not be cut by this extra edge, a small hole drilled through both handle scales and liners allowed the blade to be held in place so it would not open on a parachute jump and cause harm to the operator.[3] Although the knife functioned perfectly in the field, its final design was too specific for the Navy.[3][6]
