Navy Chief, Navy Pride!

Almost got this one done before the 132nd Birthday of the United States Navy Chief Petty Officer. (had to back the handle finish off a few grits to make the handle pop). This one has quite a few significant pieces integrated into the construction. The handle is WWII (1940's) USN blue/black rag micarta. The copper corbies signify rounds sent down range. The stainless steel lanyard tube is for the barrel of a weapon, carried in combat. The red liners pay tribute to blood spilled and friends lost. And, of course, the CPO Anchor signifies the worldwide mess. Unity, Service, Navigation!

The design is a guardless drop point EDC in S90V.
