I was saddened to hear that Chuck Karwan passed away last week, following open heart surgery. He was an exemplary American, a USMA [1] West Point graduate (1969) that served in Vietnam and elsewhere (1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), and the 5th and 10th Special Forces Groups), and was a noted writer on knives and military firearms. He will be missed, especially by his friends in Oregon.
