I recall when Capt. Chris announced this Mission Memorial knife at Blade, and I spoke up and said I would buy "Number 1."

I recall that Rhett would number knives sequentially, then draw randomly to give everybody an equal chance at lower numbers.

Then there are folks who have favorite numbers for such things, and ask for their own number--potentially complicating the sellers' bookkeeping and attempts at fairness to all.

The Captain's approach makes sense--everybody got "Number 1!"
