Another classic being resurrected by Military Armament Corporation is the new MAC Knife based on a design known the world over for its use in combat around the globe. Originally designed to give troops serving in Vietnam a more modern knife for use in hand-to-hand combat, it went on to be extremely popular among troops during the conflict and beyond. Today the MAC Knife starts with a 440C blade with Satin Stainless finish that is ground and heat treated to 58-60 HRc for a durable 20˚ cutting edge that is easy to maintain. The aluminum handle features a matte gray cerakote finish with a subtle texture that blends well with the contrasting pommel and guard. Each MAC Knife comes with a military style leather sheath.

MAC Mark II Knife
Almost identical to original Mark II knife, fit and finish is perfect, feels great in the hand a classic design perfectly executed!!!

Horrible
Straight out of the box the blade was dull and the wasp waist is super thin. Did a quick test stab on some cardboard I have wrapped up in duct tape. Twisted and pried the knife out and the blade bent at the wasp waist. Such a disappointment.

Knife
Super nice looking. Slim design. Blade wasn’t sharp.

MK II Knife
What's most interesting about this knife is that it's cross section drops from @ .200" at the widest location to @ .150" at the narrowest spot. Call it double reverse taper I guess. Makes for a whippy tip. All 4 bevels were pretty well even so it didn't take too much effort to get it to work sharp. NIce light hand feel.

Nice mkii clone
It’s not a Gerber mkii but it is a very nice clone . Look at the several mkii’s on the internet and you can see which one they cloned. I think they did an outstanding job . I love this knife , it’s the center piece, just under my M16A1 in my Vietnam tribute display case. Look at the prices of a mkii, this is a steal compared to them . Another great product from MAC !

MK II Knife
In 1969 I did not buy a Gerber MK II because the blade was "bent". Later I learned the bend was intentional. When the MAC MK II was introduced I decided to make up for my error fifty-six years ago and buy the knife! The fit and finish on the MAC MK II is equal to the Gerber and the 440c steel is a better choice for a hard use knife than the carbon steel on the original Gerber. The MAC MK II will definitely outlast me.

Mark 2 knife
Falls far short of the original! Needs to be a half inch longer and the waist is way too thin. Beef it up a little to conform to the original. Charge more if you need to, and you'd have a real winner!

MAC MK II KNIFE
I reviewed three of these knives. The fit, finish, and feel were very consistent. I compared these to my 1970 Gerber Mark II (#15XXX). Gerber numbers first: Overall Weight Knife (7.1oz -- 6.9oz); Knife & Sheath (10.5oz -- 9.6oz); Length Overall (11 4/8" -- 11 5/8") Blade (6 4/8" -- 6 4/8"); Narrowest point of Blade (6 4/8" for both); Cant (None for Both); Hilt (2'' for Both). Compares favorably to my Gerber. The MAC MK II is a Great Fighting Knife for the price.
