A great find

I help out at a local gun shop in Dallas. A guy came in a sold the owner a knife he no longer so he could to buy a Alaskan knife.

I am the lucky recipient of said knife.

Why you would want to sell that is beyond me. Good pick up.

It is a Green Beret, not a Yarborough. No serial number. The sheath is a Black Hawk.

For all you Texas kids, that's Dallas, Oregon. It's not quite as big as the other one.

Nice catch too.

You know what they say. At least they do around here-"even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile".

Way my luck goes, all I get is empty husks.

GREAT find.
