    Here are some Vietnam veterans. A Gerber MK2,
    Randall model 15 and a Ek model 1.

    The Ek knife pictured above was purchased directly from John
    Ek's son. It is named to a Captain in the U.S. Special Forces
    who sent it back to the Ek factory to be fitted with a crossguard.
    Instead of reworking the knife, they sent him a new knife. This
    particular knife then set for years in a display case at the Ek
    Knives showroom.

    I did own a cast handle Fairbairn which was comissioned by the US Rangers over here in England prior to D-Day.
    I gather they came in two colours ... black painted hand grip and green.

    Unfortunately I don't own the dagger anymore !
