An Extremely Faithful Copy
I had an original once years ago, and this is about spot-on. The leather scabbard is a high quality that holds the knife tightly enough to invert it should the belt slots or M1910 style wire belt hanger not do it for you. Blade geometry is authentic to the original, and that's both a good and a bad thing. The wasp-waisted blade has a steep slope down to the edge, and while it's sharp, it's not an excellent cutting blade. It's not a knife you're going to risk hacking into ammo crates or on other field tasks. This is a purpose-made stabber/slasher, not a sharpened pry bar like the Randall Model 14 or some of its other Vietnam War contemporaries. This is a knife you carry for style or for a singular purpose when it's backed up by something else. But God, does it look cool.

A great, classic-style MK II
I am very impressed with the look and quality of this knife, which as far as I am aware, is the only legit new MK II you can get after Gerber stopped making them. It appears closer to the original satin finish MK II of the 60s with the wasp waist (does not have the blade cant though). I have a Gerber MK II from the 2010s and honestly I like the MAC one a lot better. It has a very sharp point and the blade is reasonably sharp too (as sharp as you can expect from a steep-angle dagger). I bought two of these and one blade was imprinted with "Knoxville, TN, USA", while the other was blank. I wrote MAC an email and was told that only some runs have the markings, but they are otherwise completely the same. $55 on-sale for an American-made classic dagger is an absolute steal- especially considering the least desirable Gerber MK II runs regularly sell used for over $250. Get yourself one if you like double-edged blades, daggers, or classic military knives!

Knife is of good quality, sheath.....not so much.
Knife is well made for money spent, but the sheath is very cheaply made, does not fit the knife correctly and knife cannot be taken out or inserted by one hand only. tried to slowly do a break in period with leatherconditioner but leather used is too thin, flexible and fragile, The knife readily poked a hole in the sheath twice when inserting into sheath and I had to wrap it with Gorilla tape to stiffen it and protect myself when inserting it. I would have gladly paid a premium for a better made sheath. I am glad I purchased at a good discount and I am presently looking to buy a much better sheath to fit this knife. I bought it as a wild hog pig stucker to finish a hog while the dogs hold it down.
