The idea was to form a permanent memorial to the contributions that Rangers have made to the defense of the United States and its allies throughout their long history.
This knife was issued to British Commandos and subsequently to the men of the newly formed 1st Ranger Battalion while they were training with them in Achnacarry, Scotland.
This knife later became a staple of the inventory of airborne troops as well as other special operations units during WWII.
It is composed of “purchased” stones by former and current Rangers with their unit information.
[3] The criteria for stone purchase are very strict and not every person can be on the “Ranger Walk”.
