Thanks for the post TR!
I had no idea this article was in the works.

This is the same model knife Swatsurgeon did the emergency field amputation with.
Lone Wolf and I agreed that the CPM S-30V steel was the correct steel to be using and this has paid off in how well it holds up and performs in the field.

For anyone new, the CPM S-30V Steel was designed and refined by Crucible Specialty Tool Steels in Syracuse New York. Reeve and I had been testing this steel in our respective shops for a year before we decided to use it for the Army Special Forces knife known as the "Yarborough".

This was the very first production use of this steel.

USASOC named the knife to honor General William Yarborough (Ret) who was one of the founding fathers of modern Special Forces.

Edited to add: Forgot my manners, Lone Wolf is doing a great job with this knife. I already called them this morning to tell them about the article, Thanks Lone Wolf!
