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
