[@bobgore1962]

Great to see you again Slavik! As a USMC VETERAN, I want to say "THANK YOU" for restoring such a great piece of American history! Great job my brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🗡️💯🇺🇸

[@SLAVIKTELY]

Mr. Gore. I am glad you liked it. May God bless you. Stay strong and healthy.

[@MYBUGS]

This was/is my fathers knife he was a w-4 Marines. He carried this on his person. At some point he said that they were given to navy medic’s they traded them to marines. For whatever reason . He really loved this and used it as long as I can remember. He passed away in 1988 and I’ve had it with his dress blues in a box. Thought it needed to be back out in public. So here it is. Slavik is a coworker of mine and I have several things that he’s done. He never disappoints.

[@bobgore1962]

@@MYBUGS ... Thank you, Joe! God bless you, your Father, and Slavik!!! Your Father is my U.S.M.C. Brother, and this build really meant a lot to me! I'm proud of you for HONORING us all with restoring it! SEMPER FIDELIS!!! ❤️💯🇺🇸

[@dalebenavidez4896]

I can't wait to see what original work you come out with next, but it's heartwarming to see you restore something with such history and heart in it for someone.
