I am NOT in the knife industry or do I even sell knives to other Soldiers. I do give out this list to them to order their own. Many in my former unit in Eastern Afghanistan have. My job is NOT to take advantage of them, but to help them. I like knives and like to purchase from military friendly companies is all.
Below is the email contacts of the knife companies and my opinion on my experience only. Hope it helps other Soldiers. All the companies below have great prices for Soldiers.
I am 23-hours away from the nearest US unit in the Hindu Kush Mountains. My six man team of Guard Soldiers are excellent.

Thank you and yes we still honor the discount. Pls feel free to write to us the kukris you want then I will quote the total price with the discount and shipping to the USA (H/W delivery). Yes the standard engraving in the OIFK can be customized. "Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan" is very much possible. Our large stand would fit a kukri with the overall length of 25 inches. In your case I will have to make a slightly larger one which is possible for us. Firstly pls mention what you want and how many then we can work out the price. Lastly, we look forward to serving your order.
Namaste,
Saroj lama
