Just got home an hour ago from the Goodyear, AZ gun show and couldn't wait to share my new find of a 2nd Generation John EK Commando Knife. ( I carried a first gen. when I served actively in Germany in the late 70's).

This one is unique as it has Copper rivets instead of the lead or brass rivets. (It is my belief that only about 50 of these were made, but I'll find out more when I call EK tomorrow.) The knife is an M3 with Wallnut sacales, High carbon steel, 1 1/2 edged blade, full length, full thickness tang and LC-2 Paracord sheath (Original)

I have a good friend that his farther was the personel driver for Omar Bradley during World War II. His name was Alex Stoute, he shot it out with the Germans on several occasions, to protect the general, I have been told. Well, to make a long story, short, my friends family still has his knife that he carried during the war. It was an EK knife, I really didn't know much about this brand knife until I started collecting knives with a bit more education. I thought I'd pass that on to ya'll, it's all so interesting.

And there may be many who are looking at this knife and saying: Who is John Ek? Well prepare to read an eye opening account of  all he has done:
