Some of you will remember recently I turned up a very early MK III from around 1984 here in South Africa. That is one of my favorite knives now.
Today, a lead I heard of a year ago turned up with a cloth bag, and this inside it. Another beautiful and relatively undocumented piece. This one is just called the Survival 10" according to its paperwork, and dates to Nov 1985.
Must have come after the MK III and maybe became the MK IV? Can't find much mention of 10" knives.
Serial is a lovely low #16. This is a LARGE knife, very solid in hand. Wonder how many were made?
For your enjoyment....another one I will have to contact Anne about. What wonderful and extremely helpful people they are.

How awesome of a find! Congratulations on being its new owner. :-)

I think the logo on the handle is very neat, the C looks to be separate from the R by just a hair. Very cool indeed. Thank you for sharing.
 
Wooooaah!! This is really a grail!! Congratulations!! I love this model, 10" blade is a beast....
 
Cool knife! As stated above, a real piece of CRKs history! Thanks for sharing! Looks like the timeline may need a tweak to reflect this one!
