Default My Model #16 SP#1 or "Special #1 Fighter"

Sometime in 2003 Febuary before the invasion of Iraq, My Dad and Uncle called down to Randall in FLA and told'em I was deploying to Kuwait for the Invasion, I wanted the stainless instead of carbon because of a friend who had one that had seen alot of field duty, he let it stay wet after a long field problem and it rusted and pitted promptly! Black Micarta 7" SS blade, w/ military sheath and stone, no wait, they fed ex overnight and I got it 2 days before the Longbird over. Never got to use it as a fighting knife but did use it as a GP knife when needed, It looked very intimidating worn on the front of my ballistic vest beside my Beretta M9 above 4 M-4mag pouches containing 3 mags apiece and 2 Frags and a smoke. Knife has been sharpened but still looks new, the sheath however is still in great usable condition but its looks have suffered, it has turned dark reddish brown and has stains of brass on it. Sentimental so would sell most of my guns before I sold mi Randall!!!
