You did not answer my question. Where did I claim that I was a member of NCIS or SWCC?
Related:
lksteve made an earlier comparison that is a more accurate interp on me than CBA. Though I absolutely agree CBA is at least related because I feel Totally Cool and Special  with all these cool coins and patches, not to mention my very own SF shirt which is completely bad-a*s. (seeeeeee, we femmes don't try to deny the existence of emotions)
lksteve's comparison was:

He made this comparison right before I left on a trip. I have never seen True Grit, but I Google'd it when I returned and found:
"Central to all Portis's novels are abiding concerns for standards of decency in human conduct, fair play, justice, self-reliance, adaptability, restlessness, and the need to be attached to a place and a group of kindred souls.
All of these concerns surface in True Grit, many of them in the person of Mattie Ross, the self-reliant youngster from near Dardanelle in Yell County, Arkansas, who will brook nothing short of revenge for the murder of her father by the restless and uprooted farm hand Tom Chaney. Naive as she is in her current year when she sets out to set the collective teeth of PS.com on edge, FS must learn how to deal with adults and institutions, a never-ending process and to exact from them fair play, whether it be in horse-trading or man-hunting. That same sense of fair play lies behind Ray Midge's attempt to retrieve his Ford Torino and his wife when Guy Dupree takes both of them and leaves behind his old 1963 Buick Special (The Dog of the South, 1979). At the end of his chase, in Belize, British Honduras, to recover his car and wife, Ray takes a room in Fair Play Hotel, ironically named as things turn out. "

I fail to see how collecting unit coins in any way reflects or demonstrates special qualifications on your part.
You should review what happens to young Mattie when her obstinancy runs into hard men.
Excellent quote Razor.

FS, Reaper did answer your question. I wouldn't be telling too many people about those coins.

HaveBlue,
Thanks for asking a knife related question in this thread, what a novel concept.
Yes the tanto blade is one of the designs in the works for the Lone Wolf/Harsey knife but there is one more still...
I don't know if they decided to pull the trigger on production yet and if it an be made public, ever.
This will take more information from Lone Wolf.
Thanks again for asking a knife related question.
