Not unless you are planning to mark it with LTG Yarborough's name or your CoC orders you not to bring any knives.

Mike,
Please post pictures of the new engraving - sounds like it's going to be something to see!

No Sir, I do not plan to do any engraving. I like the knife just the way it is.

It´s been a while, but I just received my knife back from CRK. Thanks again Bill for helping me out here !! (Bill Harsey arranged for the engraving to be changed, free of charge).

As requested, I´m happy to present the new blade to you Gentlemen:

Second Run?
 
I have been in contact with “Heather” at Chris Reeves Knives and will pick up a 7” Green Beret next month as I pass through Boise. I will also get a tour of the facility, which I am greatly anticipating.

The biggest question is does anyone know for fact or heard rumors if another run of the YARBROUGH knife will be commissioned by SOCOM? I learned of the YARBROUGH knife too late to get one, but would sure enjoy having one off the second run. Even if I have a Green Beret knife, you cannot have too many knives; kind of like guns, you cannot have too many.

I have heard nothing about this.

The last Y knife run took several years to sell out, and IIRC, the SWCS CG decided not to vet and approve the paperwork any more. Even so, there were knives in stock as recently as this spring, months after the decision to stop was issued.

CRK could make a new run as soon as SWCS asked them to. If someone were to turn up the heat and ask the right people, it could happen quickly.

Strange, as I called the CofS office and inquired about getting on the list ten months or so back. I was told that they no longer did that and the knives had all be spoken for at that time.

Maybe misinformation on behalf of the secretary?
