I bought my Geber Mk II in the Subic B ay exchange in 1973.  It was carried anytime I wore web gear.  I also had a stag handled 2 blade Kabar folder that was carried until I was told it was too LONG for Seattle.

Ah My Good 40 and Lord MacK

here ya go: no serations, 5 deg offset -
this is someone elses' photo of his MkII he bought from the Ft. Rucker PX in '68 and carried thru two tours.



A buddy of mine in High School had a crazy brother who was a rigger from ~ 68-72 .
The brother  carried a Buck 120 and actually cut his way out of a huey with it,
 resucued the wounded, stayed behind, held off the nva...   long story, got medals and re-upped.

My newest other non-cas favorties are "prybars with an edge":
 
I got one of these Ontario Rat-7

and keep that and an estwing camp axe in the car

Why the hate for blade serrations?

I have several CRKT tactical folders, two with serrations. I carry and use them daily, never without one. The serrations will cut through up to 1" saplings with little effort and they make short work of rope.

I feel undressed if not packing a knife. Any time I've been without one, sure as hell me or someone else will need a knife.

I have a couple favorites, My EDC is a Kershaw Ken Onion design that keeps a great edge.It goes just about everywhere with me. I also have 2 Gerber, a Mark 2 made in 1977 and a Mark 1 that I purchased in the mid to late 80's. I also have an EK WW2, Korea and Viet Nam Commemorative that needs new scale installed. I can own the double sided knives, but can't carry them in this state.

Mine had a black sheath but was otherwise identical.  Thanks.
