Yarborough knife

I really just don't want to go through the hassle and pay $300. for one, just because the Command is being a tad frugal over the award, so I'm asking any of you Bro's who don't have kids or next of kin to will me yours. I, of course, would have been more than happy to extend the same courtesy had I been awarded one.

The lower the serial number the better...

Hey PRB I still have a big (chef sized) Ginsu knife, it's as sharp today as the day I got it. Which was about 25 years ago.

Based on your age... you'll be dead before the guys who got issued theirs start dying.... nut up and buy one, buddy... even I bought one... well I also bought a GB that some Oregon Logger scratched up, and the bastige did the same to my Yarborough... after he took the beer right out of my hand... or did he hand me the beer and say "Here hold my beer and watch this... it's gonna be cool as hell..."

I can put you in my will for the Yarborough... you owe me 3 guns, plus a bunch of ammo to shoot from them, and magazines....

If you're absolutely certain I won't get one by wheedling, I'll fork over the cash.
