This knife will stand alone. There will never be another one like it. DS&S has used their finest materials and hand-craftsmanship with additional work by Waterjet Cutting Inc. and KaMo Engravers of Albuquerque to build a blade worthy of the greatest warriors in the world....
Rather than list the names of the Naval Special Warfare Special Operators and NSW Support Personnel, I will ask you to look at their photos. Remember they were husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, grandsons, nephews, friends. They wanted the same out of life that everyone wants; to make the world a better place for their children. Lucky for America, they chose to utilize their considerable talent, skills and fortitude for the benefit of the greater good. America was blessed to count them as the most elite of her warriors, we owe it to these men to not just remember their names, but to honor their legacy by investing in their childrens' future. For certainly their children have sacrificed enough. -Jo
This is the first in a series of unique memorial knives being offered for charity in memory of those killed on 8/6/11. There will be a charity auction in honor of the Army aviators, for the AFSOC forces and for Bart the dog, to benefit military dogs. Each knife is a labor of love.
Detailed business information, videos and photos of the creation process can be found at http://ds-tactical.org/ The website is worth a visit even if you can not afford to bid on this knife, the knives they create and sell are simply exquisite. This is a small,family owned business. Dave is an Air Force veteran.

Their courage nerves a thousand living men." ~ Minot J. Savage
