Tribute to the designer, maker, and father of modern Special Forces.

Nice blade, great tool, what more could you want or need?

Another pic, in hand.

Gents, you will not believe the way this knife cuts.

TR

Price?

Beatiful knife...whats retail on that bad boy?

Free issue.

12-24 months here to earn one, and your mortal soul.

TR

Got it....Its Earned not bought.

Mr. Harsey any chance on making it available to non SF individuals?

Not the Yarborough.

It costs SF personnel who did not get one upon graduation (i.e., anyone graduating over 20 months or so ago) $270, and it is a real hassle to obtain, with only ONE per individual, per lifetime.

A very similar knife, minus the markings and serial number, can be had from Chris Reeve Knives, ebay, or TSSI for around $300.

HTH.

Dear Reaper, Thanks for showing the Yarborough knife that I designed and Chris Reeve knives manufactures. Chris Reeve Knives (CRK) has world class customer service and will deliver when stated upon placing an order. The marking of the name Yarborough and a serial no. on the blade are unique and exclusive to Army Special Forces. The same knife without these markings is available for sale to the general public. In case one might have a question about this, these conditions are stated in the orders issued by USASOC concerning the making and selling of this knife. CRK can direct anyone military or civilian to the proper purchase point for this knife. This knife uses a steel called CPM S-30V, it's a particle metal steel made by Crucible Steel in Syracuse NY. The Yarborough knife is the first ever application of this extreme high strength steel. Chris and I had tested this steel for one year before using it on your knife. This steel costs almost double what the next best steel does and is much more difficult to manufacture at every step. The reason we chose this stuff is because of the very high pry-bar strength, great initial sharpness, edge holding and high stain resistance. Thanks again for showing the knife. Bill

Thanks for sharing, Bill. Not that any SF guy would use his knife as a pry bar, unless he really had to. Stain resistance is not that important to me in a knife, personally.

Nice title under your name, BTW.:D
