1.Gerber Mark II
The Gerber Mark II is a fighting knife used from 1967 to 2000, with an additional limited run in 2002 but of very limited supply of 1500 knives. But the production was restored in July 2008. The designer of this weapon is an Army Captain (Retd) named Bud Holzman. Up to 1970 Gerber Mark II was considered as a fighting knife, but the military base/post exchanges stopped selling these knives; the reason was said that they were “not in good shape” or “too ferocious”. Al Mar was a knife designer, and was working for Gerber; he added the sawtooth serrations toward the hilt, marketing the knife as a “survival aid”, making it more appealing to the military commanders, which resumed selling the Mark II as a survival knife, rather than a fighting knife. The knife is 12 inches long overall, with a 6.75 inch blade. The blade has double wide serrations on each side of the diamond cross-section shaped blade. The handle is a single piece cast on black metal, with GERBER marker mark on one side. This knife was included in the paratrooper’s survival kit.
