1st Group Harsey/Reeves Knife
 

They were pedelaling knives during formation so of course I had to buy one.... :)

I do have one complaint. The Spec Ops sheeth is in ACU! What's up with that?

Ask your CSM.

Mr. Harsey - tell us more
 

Bill,

Can you fill us in on the technical details of the knife?

18C Dad

I wonder if this knife will be offered to members of SFA Chapter XVI? (16) If so, I'd be interested. :munchin

Or those of us who used to be in (and long to return to) the 1st? :munchin <--- Deep Fried Crickets, not pistachios

GFB-
We have to send the Black Helicopters after you now, sorry Bro, you gave away an SF secret and you must be terminated with extreme prejudice. Nobody is supposed to tell what's in the munchin' bag, nobody, you were warned. <best soup nazi voice> No knife for you, Next!

Sales of the knife will be handled through "First In Asia".
To the best of my knowledge, yes the serialized and "Crossed Arrows" marked knife will also made available to former 1st SFG(A) Soldiers.

This knife is to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of 1st SFG(A).

The unmarked "civilian" version will be the same knife minus the markings unique to 1st SFG(A) and is called "The Pacific".

At the request of "First In Asia" this knife was designed by me and is being produced at Chris Reeve Knives.
Blade is 6 inches long by 1.5 inches wide and is a short straight clip point. Steel is CPM S-30V.
Handle design is single finger groove with micarta scales that have additional gripping grooves. Top thumb ramp is also grooved.

As already noted here the sheath is a Spec-Ops Brand.

Here is one more picture showing the knife a little closer.

What does the Bible say about lust?

I've been waiting for this since January when the CSM told us about it at a Chapter III meeting!

That is what is in my bag, and my bag only, then again...I am the one in the office that brings in 1,000 year old eggs :D More than willing to share with anyone (the 1,000 year old egg that is)

Bill,
Thanks for the info. Is Kevin P. still the POC for the First in Asia "department"? When I purchased the 3rd BN print, and donated to the memorial, he was handling the transactions.

Sir,
That sounds correct. I will make a call and confirm. PM incoming.
Bill

Where can I get one?
 

I was the ODB 170 CO 4 Sep 84. Where can I get one of these knives? Please send POC and purchase info via PM.

Zak:

PM Bill Harsey and get your email addy off the net, if you like.

Bill:

Zak is a buddy of mine, tell him where to go to get the knife.
