I was on the fence, as I really don't need another combat knife. I doubt that my daughter in the AF would carry such a big bowie as a flight crewman, but she just might want to, knowing her. She is going for Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconaissance Operator (ISR Operator) training next. She kicked some butt in the obstacle course and they love her war cry. She called me yesterday needing some info for her background investigation for the ISR job. Whether or not she carries it on active duty, I know she'll want one. She can add it to her Kukri and Bowie collection. At that price, I just could not resist getting a Regulator and sheath. It should make a nice graduation gift for her when she finally gets to her duty station. It's a heck of a "War Knife".
