Chris Reeve Large Green Beret 7" Black CPM-4V Black Micarta Fixed Blade

Also known as the "Yarborough", the Chris Reeve Large Green Beret 7" is a full tang, plain edge fixed blade knife presented to graduates of the Special Forces Qualification Course. Designed by knife maker Bill Harsey with input from Chris Reeve, this knife was designed especially for the US Army Special Forces. This version has a black KG Gun Kote coated CPM-4V blade and black canvas Micarta scales. 

Brand new direct from Chris Reeve Knives.

Blade: The drop point blade tapers to a fine point with a swedge at the tip for piercing while the hollow saber grind a balance of slicing performance and durability. Black KG Gun Kote is durable, discreetly non-reflective and offers enhanced corrosion resistance for the CPM-4V carbon alloy steel.

Handle: The sandblasted canvas Micarta handles are contoured and milled with a herringbone texture and center groove for optimal security in the hand. Micarta offers traction even when wet and is durable and weather resistant, as you would expect from a knife designed for the rigors of special operations use. Allen head hardware attaches the handles to the full tang allowing for easy removal for cleaning. The pommel is exposed for striking and comes with a removable nylon lanyard for added security.

Sheath: Includes a heavy-duty, felt lined nylon MOLLE sheath for carry (USA).

CPM-4V: Similar to Vanadis 4E (V4E), CPM-4V is a particle metallurgy tool steel with better edge retention than 3V, similar to S35VN, and greater toughness than CPM-M4. CPM-4V allows for a thinner, higher performance edge. Care is required to prevent corrosion on this non-stainless alloy.
