Chris Reeve Knives - Optimum Quality, Optimum Performance

At the 22nd annual Blade Show & International Cutlery Fair, held in Atlanta, GA June 12-15, 2003, major exhibitors participated in a ballot to recognize industry leaders. The Blade Show is, worldwide, the largest gathering of the different sections of the knife industry and is considered by many as the most important event of the year. At the gala banquet on Saturday evening, Chris Reeve Knives was honored to receive acknowledgement from industry peers in two categories:

On behalf of his company, Chris Reeve accepted Blade Magazine’s Manufacturing Quality Award for the third time in four years. This prestigious award encompasses the entire line of Chris Reeve Knives rather than just one model. Chris Reeve Knives are known around the world to be consistently innovative, functional and manufactured to the tightest tolerances in the industry.

Together with William (Bill) W. Harsey, Chris also accepted Blade Magazine’s Knife Collaboration of the Year award for the Yarborough/Green Beret Knife. Designed by Bill Harsey, with manufacturing input from Chris Reeve, the knife is manufactured by Chris Reeve Knives. “The Yarborough” is presented to every graduate of U. S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course and is available to legacy S.F. members. The almost identical knife, known as the “Green Beret,” is available to other military and civilians.
