the lord works in mysterious ways my friend.its funny how it all just falls into place sometimes.that "feeling" you spoke about is a powerful thing.

im sure the feeling that you got during that moment was worth more than that knife could ever be.material items are replaceable,moments like that are priceless.

the word "respect" almost doesnt cut it.the world needs more people like you.
also,what a better gift to give a service man than a good,quality blade and what better blade than a dm.you lead by example my friend
