Bob Hunter Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 What is the commercial looking one to the left of the Heer dagger? For that matter, who are the makers of all the commercial blades in your nifty looking display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregM Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 That is a Model#1 Ek commando knife. Made by John Ek. John Ek was one of the leading private purchase knife makers ( in the US ) during ww2. and continuing up through Vietnam.There is a good story about him and his knives in Robert Buerlein's book. "Allied military fighting knives"This particular one is a Vietnam era one that was carried by a captain ine the SF in Nam. It was returnedto EK to be replaced by one with a crossguard. This was purchased directly from the son of John Ek.The blades starting at the top with the Heer dagger and going clockwise are.Heer Dagger-F.W.HollerSA dagger-RZM m.7/62/38.Gerber- MK 2 ( Vietnam era)Camillus--MK 2F-SRandall--Model 14 (Vietnam era )Case--V44 (ww2)F-SF-SF-SKennedy Arms--(ww2) Very rare one of only 6 I have ever seenF-S1918 Trench knife--L.F.& C.Camillus--M3 ( 1943)Ek commando--Model #1 (1967) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregM Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Dave,WOW that is a great sawtooth. Is that the original finish or has it been polished?Chris,You are right, you've gotta love Randells. There is a quality of workmanship thatyou just can't appreciate untill you have one in hand.Here is a closer shot of my Randell, Ek and Gerber Edited January 8, 2006 by gregM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
