This is perhaps one of my favorite knives in my collection. This is a Gerber Guardian II (serial number D0677S) that was used by one of my very good friends during Operation Just Cause and Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

He was an M-60 gunner and needed to carry some sort of knife. As you can tell from the pictures, this knife has been used and abused. The tip has been broken off and blade has seen better days as well. However, it is an honest combat used knife. My buddy, as I said earleir, was an M-60 gunner with C Co.

4/6th Infantry (Mechanized). He was also qualified to operate an M113A1 vehicle. It is funny, I have all of his paperwork here at the house except for one piece. He received some sort of recognition for driving a captured Panamanian V-300 fighting vehicle and saving a group of US soldiers that were pinned down.

He says they were SEAL's, but I'm not sure. However, I did see the paperwork and know he did rescue a group of soldiers. I don't think he ever got any kind of award or anything for it though. Anyway, thought you guys might like to see one of my favorite Just Cause items. My friend also brought home a captured East German AK boyonet as a war trophy. I also have that in my collection.

He said that they were made to empty their pockets, rucksacks, etc. And were threatened with court martial if they were caught smuggling anything back in. Hi Arch, I know this is an old topic but I found one of these Gerbers the other day. I don't know if the Army ever open purchased any of these knives but they are a cool knife nonetheless!! The one I found was modified. It has a groove cut into the aluminum handle that circles the entire handle.

I guess the purpose of the groove was to increase the grip of the handle. The blade is serialized with number D1771S. It does not have a sheath though. Makes me wonder if this one was possibly carried by a veteran?? Gotta throw in my $0.02 here, I know that the Gerber knives were carried in the AAFES PX's in the 1980's -1990's,in 1987 I bought a Gerber Mark I boot knife and carried it in the field,handy little snipper for a Soldier in the field,after all these years,I still have it! Good steel,all I ever used on it was a carbide-tip sharpener,I never had to stone sharpen that knife!

The serial # is H1711S,& on the other side of the blade,the Co. Hallmark of a sword in a stone,GERBER,Portland,ORE.U.S.A., and in the middle of the blade, MARK I TM. Hold on to that knife,It's a Keeper! Regards, Jeff •.
