Any Chris Reeve dealer, or CRK directly. The GB Knife comes in a 5.5" and a 7" version.
Google is your friend.

I still believe they should give us a knife based on a grand fathers clause or something like that.............  I bought mine a couple of years ago from the store at Ft.Bragg ...........  It's a beautiful knife,but kinda costly for my wife and me who live on Social Security only,sure would have appreciated getting it free from Uncle Sam.......

If you want a superlative knife to carry, PM Barbarian, and see if you can sweet-talk him into putting one together for you from scratch.
He crafted, from my own design, the finest fixed-blade knife I've ever owned.

The Yarborough Knife:
I have herd that Yarborough#001 was presented to Lt.Gen.(Ret) William P Yarborough by Lt.Gen.Doug Brown in June 2002 at Gen. Yarborough's home in Southern Pines, NC. and Gen. Yarborough in turn gave the knife to Rudi Gresham.

Like TR said above, there is a civillian version in 5.5" and 7" that are identical to the Y, but do not have a S/N or the Yarborough name on them. Chris Reeve does have leather sheaths for them. I have one and it is very nice.
I have carried mine and used it on camping trips. The Reeves have "re-built" a few that were virtually destroyed in IED attacks, crashes and fires. There is a process to go through with SF Command, but it has been done.
Later

@ Can't Hardly... I made a rectangular display plaque for mine from American grown mahogany, DUI, enlisted SF collar brass, and shoulder patch with rocker and tab... plain but it really shows off the knife.
