Reeve / Harsey - Pacific - my first photo impressions...
 

Well... simply outstanding knife! I like EVERY aspect of this design & execution. Another winner from best knife desig / manufacturing team on this planet!

And more...

Piter,
Thanks for the kind words and pics.

Edited to ask: How does the grip feel when wet?

Nice!
 

I must resist.....

Stay safe.

I don't know how you did this (design? material? most likely both) but the handle gives actually MORE grip when wet! That's at least my impression. Generally the grip of Pacific is excellent. I like it alot Bill.

I like the pictures Piter. I posted some pictures of my serialized version in the
1st SFG(A) Forum. When I took mine home I was on my bed with it in the sheath but unsecured. I picked it up, upside down and the knife slid out of the sheath, hit my bed, bounced up and stabbed me slightly on my hand...I learn my lesson with that :)


Bill-I think my father and I are planning to go to the Blade West show in Portland this coming month. Will you be there?

These two guys are amazing. Incredible work.

So whats the 7th, 5th, 3rd and 10th GRP Knife going to look like. Doesn't 10th already have one? Make the Handle of the 5th Group Knife to resemble the color and texture of the Camel Spider. 7th can just be in the shape of a Jalapeno Pepper:D

Piter,
Gripping better when wet comes from the exposed canvas layers in the micarta swelling slightly. Sandblasting the handle like we do helps with this too.


Thanks for the kind words from you guys and Guy too.

Bill. All:

I am now the proud owner of a (Serialed numbered) 1st SFGA # 0161 Knife, Blade S30V 55-57RC. Handle Black Canvas Micarta. I just got mine delivered at the SFA 16 Chapter meeting today!

What a GREAT combat knife! I love it! :D :lifter :cool:

Great Service / Great Knife
 

An original member of our SWAT team retired this week, and we decided to get him a Pacific. I had a great experience in dealing w/ Chris Reeve's company. I called and ordered the knife on Tuesday. It was engraved and in my hands by Friday morning! The knife was the perfect gift, and the experience was ultra professional.

Just wanted to drop a public thanks to Bill Harsey and Chris Reeve for a great knife!

Hartzco,

That was a beautiful blade. Excellent choice.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'll make sure the Reeve shop reads this.

What a perfect gift! Any Chris' knife is a great choice but Pacific is simply "best of the best"!

Is there a link where I can find these knives?

Thank You TR.

You might try here first for a serial numbered knife!

Thanks, it states to try back later. Anyone know if there are more Numbered ones available? Im not picky since I'm not in 1st Grp for another 2 weeks yet.

Numbered knives for 1st SFG(A) should still be available.
This is to the best of my knowledge because if memory serves the CSM at that time told us there would be no cap on the serial no.s for those with and from
1st SFG(A).

Anne Reeve (of Chris Reeve Knives) would know the correct contact with
1st SFGA to ask about the knives.

Thank You Sir

Are there (or going to be) models for the other grps?

Sir,
This would only be done at the request of the command of the group and there is nothing in the works from us at this time.

Thank you sir

After a few months of research, Im drawing straws on how to acquire one of these through group. Without elaborating the First In Asia fund is no more. All I want is to get one of these with a serial#. Any Suggestions?

LW,
Contact Anne Reeve @ 208-375-0367 or crkinfo@chrisreeve.com. If you need any further assistance, give me a shout.

Take care.
Martin

He might have a few POC's who could help you out.

After moving on to another employer, I also received my own engraved Pacific from our team. What a fantastic piece of equipment. Very well done, I'll always cherish it.

FWIW, I gave the Pacific to my son last year when he was selected for the SWAT team of his department... It is a beautiful piece...

My wife gave me the 1st GRP knife yesterday for Father's Day! I just had sit and marvel at all the lines Bill. There is just SO much detail to this knife and yet not one thing there that isnt funtional or there just "for show". Bill you maximize beauty OF functionality better than anyone. What a great knife!! Happy Father's Day Everyone!

A little FYI to all the Green-hatters that want a 1st in Asia Knife. I know the program was de-funded for a while and they havnt been available for some time but the serialized knives are once again available so ORDER ONE!! QUICK!!

Bill, you should have seen the smile on his face (it looked like this :D)... but then again, that could have just been gas from too much food.... :eek:

Proud to say that I finally got Myne!!!!!

Great Work Bill and Chris!!!!
