Show off your fixed blades!

Dave,

Does that small clip point knife withe the sabre grind have a Boy Scout etch on the off side of the blade? I've got two just like and both have the etch. Good looking KA BARS too.

Nope, nothing but KA-BAR on it. Thanks _____Dave

Sweet layout David

Excellent collection, and layout Dave .

I think Gerber did an exceptional job with their commemorative of the famous wasp-wasted Vietnam era knife. Fine grind lines.

Very Nice Gerber What year is the Z serial # from ?

[Quick Steel]

Gary, The only Gerber chart I've found ends at 1999. I suspect this is a 2000 limited edition. Could be wrong.

[Quick Steel]

Gary (kennedy knives), I knew I had more info on this Gerber if I could only find it which I did after a long search in trunks not fully unpacked since I began my retirement.

Here is the input from the box it came in from AGR. "The Mark II is one of a 100 piece limited edition produced in 2002 for A G Russell Knives, each with a unique serial number. This version combines features found on the Mark II throughout its illustrious history including a "cats tongue" coated stainless steel grip that is powder coated with cardinal black and gray, and the addition of a premium 154CM stainless steel blade. The classic leather sheath has been reproduced for that famous Mark II look and feel. ZOOO52

Garry Thanks for the info on your Gerber . I have one from 1968 with Cat's Tongue & Gray Armorhide Handle Serial # 007664. With pamphlet Someone cut the sharping stone pouch off which is a shame but still a nice Mark II from that time period .

[Quick Steel]

Very nice. Do you know if it saw duty in RVN?

[kennedy knives]

Very nice. Do you know if it saw duty in RVN?

Garry I don't have any proof . The lady I bought it from was selling his collection with a # of Military Guns which I didn't know enough about . Someone used it and took care of it for it to be made in 1968 . Don't see them a lot .

I think the odds are very high it was used in Nam.

[WillyCamaro]

Very very nice example Mr. Gary .

I wouldn't be surprised if it did see action. I guess that's half the fun of owning knives, the mystery surrounding they're history is half the enjoyment. The other half is owning knives .

[eveled]

Nobody removes a stone pouch on a whim. That was done by someone wearing that knife a lot and becoming tired of getting caught on things.

To me it adds to the thought that it saw some use in combat.

Very nice knife.
