I got the local dude here to order me a "K Bar". Cost is going to be around $150 but it's not a knock off.
just to clarify, a K Bar is an awesome knife that was widely used in the Vietnam era. excellent steel blade, rugged design etc. I dont have any U.S.a. stuff anymore, Some piece of steaming goat crap stole alot of my army stuff back in the late 90's after I retired. they were all gifts from some U.S. boys that I trained with years ago in Europe.
Good luck in your search!

Marines are very familiar with Ka-Bars. We're the ones they were designed for. $150, even in Canadian dollars, is a rip-off:

You might want to consider using a good contact cement (on the smaller patches anyway). It's possible to remove them later (with some effort and cleanup afterwards) without leaving holes.

All my patches came off my uniforms so that's my sourse but you can usually replace lost ones from an army surplus store. if they dont have them, they can get them pretty quick.

It is interesting how some guys/gals have patches all over the vest. Some just have the basics for the club or the bike. I am just the basics. I have three vests, HOG, ALR, and a Harley vest with just the Harley Eagle on the back. I have a number of small patches, just don't want to put them on. Thinking about creating a framed felt holder for all the other pins and patches. Has anyone else ever done that?
