Gerber Mark II
The Gerber Mark II was a fighting knife made by Gerber Legendary Blades from 1966 to 2000, plus a limited run of 1500 in 2002. It had a double edged, spear point, wasp-waisted blade, and used a distinctive handle similar to that of the Fairbairn-Sykes combat knives developed during WWII. Later versions used a partially serrated blade, with the serrations located where the earlier blades were wasp-waisted. The Mark II was commonly carried by US troops in the Vietnam War, and is second only to the Ka-bar knife in fame.
Some production runs of this knife had a 5-degree offset between the blade and the grip in order to ride in the sheath more comfortably.
