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 that is ground and heat treated to 60HRc for a durable cutting edge that is easy to maintain. The aluminum handle features a matte gray finish with a subtle texture that blends well with the contrasting pommel and guard. Each MAC Knife comes with a military style leather sheath.

MK II Knife
Very good looking reproduction of the original. Well made.

MK II Knife
Decent reproduction of the Gerber Mark II Fighting Knife. The sheath REEKED of chemicals and smells I've NEVER associated with cowhide, and the knife will not fully seat into the sheath all the way down, stopping about a 1/4" short. If I were standing in front of a pile of them, I'd pick another one, but it's not bad enough to return.

MAC MK II purchase
Well worth the money… This is an excellent knife even if it wasn’t a reproduction of an excellent knife! I own a Gerber MK II which I bought in 1985 and carried during my service. The MAC MK II is a well made copy of the earlier models, original Gerber MK II knives like this are rare and expensive collectables. I think the MAC MK II will become a collectable in its own right because it has been executed so well.

The MAC MK II is a Great knife
I bought one of these and was really impressed with the quality so I bought another one! I have a Gerber MK II from 1983 to compare the MAC to and MAC has got it right. It really captures the form and quality of the early Gerber MK II. I hope MAC makes some more soon!

MAC MkII knife
A faithful reproduction of the original MkII but at a great price. Handle texture is a little slick compared to original but still very good.

MAC Mk II Knife
What an awesome reproduction of an iconic fighting knife. You pull this knife from the sheath and you are instantly transported to the pages of 1980s era Soldier of Fortune magazine.

MK II Knife
A truly impressive evolution of the legendary Gerber MK II combat knife. An x-ray of the grip shows the tang is not the original "stubby" tang used by Gerber but rather a substantial full tang. This allows the knife to be far stronger under hard use. There is no 5 degree cant to the blade which is neither here nor there as that feature was nebulous to begin with. The blade needed only several swipes on a butcher's steel to bring it up to being truly sharp. Overall a very, very good purchase for the money asked.

MAC MK II Knife
I've collected knives most of my life and have had a few Gerber MK IIs, I fortunately was able to purchase a friend's MK II he carried in Vietnam when he served with the 173rd Airborne, the s/n of this mk II shows it was made in 1970, the MAC MKII is exactly the same, nothing left to say, thank you for this outstanding ode to America's history !
