Very nice examples you you got there Chopperman,well done.
Thank you, I have others but these are some of my favorites.
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 !

Love em!
I like that pig sticker above the Collins V44. Who is that made by?
Thanks for sharing those pic's.

Hi Phil,
That is a rare one.
It is called a Kennedy Arms Knife. No one knows
for sure who made them but they are stamped
Kennedy Bros. Arms co. St.Paul Minn.
The only thing we have been able to find out about
Kennedy Broes was that they were last listed in the
1945-46 St.Paul phone book as a dealer of arms and
sporting goods.
I have only seen 3 or 4 of these ever being listed.
