Yarbrough Knife
 
Sent all my paperwork in for the Special Forces Yarbrough Knife, we'll see how long it takes from paperwork to a combat knife in hand.

Very nice....

shadowflyer 06-11-2004 18:59

Nice...:D....I have held one just like it. Mr Harsey does not disappoint when it comes to blades.

I am sure it will serve you well TS and E5US.

Picked up mine on Tuesday.

I must add that during a demonstration of the Knife out at Camp Mackall on Wendesday, Chris Reeve made a VERY HARD CHOP on a Chain Link Fence Post (Pipe) and left one hell of a gash in it !!! The cadre present were amazed, it barely disturbed the EDGE !!! After about 3 strokes on each side with a DMT sharpening tool, the edge SHAVED HAIR !!!! The CPM S30V is some really Bad Assed Steel !!!

Any questions, I'm sure Bill Harsey will be around to provide the answer.

A believer !!

Chris whacked that galvanized steel pipe holding up the chain link fence pretty hard. He's always full of surprises. I wondered what kind of damage it would do to the edge, didn't take much work to clean up. The notch will be in the post for some time.

One of these days, I will order one of these beautiful blades.

Is there a thread with what paperwork it takes to get one?

NousDefionsDoc 06-13-2004 10:07

Thanks TS.

Now I have boxes of papers to open.

The Reaper 06-13-2004 13:53

More than happy to assist on this end if there is a sticking point.

AM's paperwork and purchase sailed right through with a little heat. Could have done it in one day if the Gift Shop was open on Mondays.

That chop on the post imprerssed me as well. Got to get a pic of it next time I am out there. Probably have to initiate a Report of Survey on the knucklehead who brought the civilians on the compound.

Terry, all you need to do is contact any Chris Reeve vendor and order the Green Beret knife. I have a buddy or two who are vendors. Usually a couple on eBay at any given time as well. Sounds like a great Father's Day gift, about $200-$300, depending on where you buy it.

Somehow, I doubt it, but that is one of the reasons I do not post my mug here.

You have email, BTW.

Approval to Purchase the Yarborough
 
Paperwork arrived today with approval to purchase. It now heads back to SF museum gift shop to order the knife!

Air.177 06-25-2004 16:31

Now you are going to have to figure out where on the Vest you are going to carry your knife:D

Holy Crap, :eek: is that a standard chain link fence post? Like the kind anyone could pick up at a Home Depot or a Lowe's?

Yep, Chris just wound up and whacked the snot out of it with a $300 knife of his.

I believe that Harsey could have cut it down with that knife and his logging skills.

No visible damage to the blade. No nick, no chipping, no bending. A few strokes on either side with a ceramic stick, and it would pop the hairs off your arm again it was so sharp.

The thread:

I was stunned, and I own one.

Very nice design Mr. Harsey.

Perhaps I missed it but how much? If I read the app. documentation is no problem since I have SFA #D-1088.

IIRC, around $270, delivered.

TR

Team Sergeant 07-12-2004 20:38

Terry,

$280 delivered and one month from doc's sent to knife in hand. Very well worth it.
