Commissioned by retired
Navy Chief Steven C. Bronson and designed by Bill Harsey with input from
Chris Reeve, the Warrior knife is manufactured to the uncompromising standards
for which Chris Reeve Knives is known worldwide.
A numbered edition
of 184 knives is reserved for the Navy SEAL community - Neil Roberts graduated
from Class #184. (Members of the SEAL community can contact Steven Bronson
at ChiefBronson@aol.com for ordering details.)
Un-numbered
but otherwise identical, the Neil Roberts Warrior Knife is now available
for users and collectors. The engraving on each knife reads "Neil
Roberts BUD/S Class 184" - for the uninitiated BUD/S stands for Basic
Underwater Demolition/SEAL.
A trust fund at the
Navy Federal Credit Union has been established to support the education
of Neil Robert's son, Nathan. The price of each knife includes a $20 contribution
to this fund.
