Overview
This knife started as a copy of a Gerber Mark II knife by Military Armament Corporation. It has been fully disassembled by Greg Covington. The blades have been reground and satin polished, and the handle has been refinished to match the Vietnam Era Gerber Mark II knife as closely as possible. The sheath has also been dyed to match the original as well. New condition.
Here is the original information for this knife before the alteration.
