That will work MIke....

Plus I have no wife. After dropping the boar, I can help with the beer run. :)

That´s what I call "cross-trained" ! Thanks Brad ! :D

Well. we were always 'cross-training' Mike. Sort of stuck with me. Especially when beer and food is in the equation. Sometime I'll get around to a particular Team cross-training by our Docs. :eek:

Brad, yes, I always liked that concept. You never know when you will be needing a certain skill...

It is a great concept Mike. A Teams ever since I was in, continue to that. There is no better training, outside of sending every guy on a Team to every school.

Another "I got mine" post
 

Like some of those above my Yarborough came in the mail the other day. Serial number 0957. It took about two weeks from when I sent the payment and my signature at the bottom of the memorandum.

I actually thought the knife would be black like the photo I saw of serial number 2. By hey, if it's issued in green, then green is fine with me.

I think issueing a knife to the Q course graduates is a great idea. I think the distinguished honors grad of my class in '79 got some kind of Buck knife. I was just an honor grad and got squat. But I ain't complaining.

I am glad to be able to get this knife for my sons really. I have two and will give the Randall Airman I carried to the eldest and this Yarborough to the youngest. My daughter gets my Silva, it got me out of more trouble than either of these knives.

If you don't get one of these knives, I would not sweat it. Spend the $286.00 bucks on calls to your old buddies and a nice bottle of Jack or Jim. That'll do more for you than than just another blade.

The Yarborough Knife in the "sandbox"...
 

Just so that Mr. Harsey doesn't think all Yarborough's end up on a display box:
This one has been along on a pretty nasty firefight, a couple of "interesting" combat missions and to every camping trip I do back here in CONUS. I have not had to re-sharpen it yet (and I got my knife back in 2003).

Painted no less. Would like to here some of those stories, Basenshukai.

:D Thanks for the work your doing and glad to hear the edged tool is included, that's what it's built for.

That handle doesn't look like "factory" either :D

Manufactured as promised in late August, it has arrived today.

Thanks again Mr. Harsey, Sir, and Heather @ CRK for this awesome blade !

Nice. That sheath came with it?

I believe it is now.

No longer Blackhawk, but Spec Ops.

TR

Correct, all sheaths for our knives are now from Spec Ops Brand in Texas.

100% Made In USA (if Texas recognizes the rest of the United States :D ).

We don't, unless you count all those backwards annexationists.

Affirmative. I like it alot, always liked Spec Ops gear anyway.

Mike (half Texan, by the way....:cool: )
