Eagle,
Thank you again for all your hospitality and friendship and thanks for the explanation of the knife design, that is a very good explanation.

The Yarborough knife is made to do any job a soldier might need it for.
What you see is how we did it. I'm not saying it's the only design that could fit the bill but it is what we came up with for use day or night, wet or dry, bare handed or gloved carried by a wide range of men working anywhere in the world.
