If we are going to show off our best knives, then I have one that I am very proud to own - a Randall #1 combat knife. This knife was presented to me by the Officers and Soldiers of the 30 CSG and it's four battalions, which I was privileged to command from FEB 2000 through NOV 2003 (to include a deployment to OIF in 2003). The knife was presented to me when I rotated out of command - I have never used it, but I guess I should - it has my name and unit engraved in the blade but you can't see it in this picture. I have kept it unblemished as a personal heirloom.
