Green Beret/Yarborough
|
Every U.S. Army Special Forces soldier is issued with a
knife known as the "Yarborough" upon graduation from SF
Qualification Course. The knife is named in honor of
General William P. Yarborough, frequently referred to as
the "father of the Green Berets". Each Yarborough is
engraved with the name Yarborough and a serial number.
Designed by Bill Harsey and manufactured by Chris Reeve
Knives to be both a tool and a weapon, the Yarborough
was the winning design from a field of nearly 100
different contenders.
Its full-tang construction is made from CPM S30V
steel, an alloy that has greater strength than 154CM, as
well as superior edge-holding ability. All surfaces are
coated with KG GunKoteTM , a
baked-on non-reflective corrosion-resistant finish. The
handles are canvas Micarta, chosen for its toughness,
chemical resistance, and wet-grip capabilities. |
