Awesome knife and with provenance that is spot on. I d##n't know him in Special Forces in Vietnam, Loc Ninh was way south in III Corp, and I was up north in II corp. However, one of my good friends and fellow SF remembers him from mike force days. Lots of imposters out there, even in obits... the good Colonel isn't one of them. RIP Colonel.. and I know his knife has found a good home.

PS: Loc Ninh was a heck of a hot camp... and site of one of the most famous stands against tank led attack in 1972. Also a heck of a battle in 1967.

The Grigg has really disappeared from Ebay. You use to see them offered from time to time but quite scarce the last year or so.

I try to buy them as soon as I see them available. Really nice folders!
