Working on a design for a Desert Shield / Desert Storm knife. Foxtrot Company was a Marine Corps surgical field hospital deployed in August 1990 and returned home in April 1991. We had a great crew that got even bigger when Kilo Company joined us in January. I've wanted to engrave a commemorative knife for FOXTROT Company but have just never made it a priority. Recently one of the Hospital Corpsmen from the company asked about such a knife and that is what started me on the design process. The Palm tree and swords are the logo for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is the same design on the Medal. The Caduceus will have a FMF Shield around it and the entire knife needs a border around it. This is a Spyderco Byrd Meadowlark knife. The back will have my name, Rank and maybe job title. Yet to be determined. So I'm calling this Draft 3 (first two have already been eliminated). What do you think? Oh and Swords might be in 22K gold.
