All About Pocket Knives

This one is for my AAPK family Marine friends and literally, for my Marine family (nephew). I just got back, from DFW, this weekend. My nephew, in the Marines, just returned from a 9 month deployment. For the deployment, he was placed in a MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) and assigned on the USS Essex. He is stationed out of Miramar, California.
For spring-break, he, his wife and 3 daughters were back to visit Mom (my sister) and family. He is the crew chief on the CH-53 helicopter. He's the one on the far left of the picture, below. I gave him this Camco camp knife, rehandled in OD green micarta. The shield is out of sterling silver and on the reverse I inset a Marine logo. He was very appreciative. I'm very appreciative to the current generation, taking the reigns and making the sacrifices for us. Semper Fi my Marine friends!!!

What a fantastic mod! And a great gift for a fine American!

I thank the Lord for men like your nephew. Proud for you that he is part of yours. And a great mod and gift.

Beautiful job on that knife!
Thankful for all who serve, and we pray for their protection and their peace.

That's a big bird he's flying around in. Didn't realize those choppers were that big and I thank them all for their service to our country!

Great knife, I am sure he is grateful and will carry it with pride.
Semper Fi do or die.

That's a great tribute, and a wonderful gift! I am sure he appreciates it more than you realize.

Awesome birds! Awesome unit! Awesome gesture!
Happy for all.

That turned out nicely! I like how you removed the tongs and replaced them with pins. Great work and wonderful tribute.

Ooh Rah! Semper Fi young Devil Dog. Fidelis Ad Mortem.

Thank You, Gentlemen. Nick's got 16 years in the Marines and grown to be a great leader in his family and the Marine Corps.

Great pictures, great rehab on the knife, good stuff all around!
Looks like the nephew will be well prepared with his special knife and his side arm.
