[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 16529863, member: 6727"] I'm a proud veteran in that I was blessed to serve our country in the Navy. The carrier I was stationed on made two tours of duty to the Tonkin Gulf during the Vietnam War. I once bartered with a guy in the carrier's supply department for a Navy pilot's survival knife. Now years later, I can't find it. It meant a lot to me. Well, while browsing Google, I found a commemorative knife from Ka-Bar that I just had to have. Not identical, but it's something that represents my service in a positive way. My wife saw how much I wanted this knife and before I could buy it (plus a display case), she told me she really wanted to buy it for me for Christmas. The knife, sheath and case was just under $200.00. I'm looking forward to getting the knife, and will proudly display it in my home office. Here's a photo of what my original knife/sheath looked like. The blade was 5". [ATTACH=full]1674139[/ATTACH] And here's a photo of what I'm getting. This has a 7" blade so I can't use the original sheath with sharpening stone. I will, though, search for one that will hold my new knife. [ATTACH=full]1674140[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
