I had a very good friend who served on SEAL Team One in Vietnam. He told me that he had been offered a very large amount by a collector for the Gerber Fighting knife he carried in Vietnam. He had the provenance to go along with it, so that made it more valuable than most knives.

I asked him if he sold it to the collector? He said, "No, I was kinda nostalgic about that knife." He still had it.

FWIW.
