Both of the Rangers were knife nuts and really liked my Bowies, along with my Cold Steel XL Voyager I had in my pocket. The Ranger in the first pic carried a couple of knives on him and was aware of Bladeforums, Busse, and Carothers, and had seen some of the videos. The Ranger in the second pic was the Sergeant in charge, and a terrific guy as well. Both Rangers are a credit to their Service, and I am happy and proud to have met them.
