I've grown fond of EK knives over the years.I acquired a #4 some time ago from a small gun shop here I New Brunswick.I got my second one here on Bladeforums (Thanks WalterDavis).
So I did some digging and found long lost,ultra private collection,exclusive pictures of EK knives throughout the 20-21 centuries.;););)

Even to modern day the EK knives are still going strong.The conflicts in the middle east and Afghanistan have soldiers in need of top of the line Cutlery.This photo I acquired from some dark-ops fellows on a secret life or death mission at or around this position (37.104041,74.07486).Whatever that means.:D
Here our most loved EK knives are seen along side a ultra modern combat knife made by Busse.The Hell Razor.

If you guys have any EK photos you want to share please feel free to share.The more the merrier.
 
Love the last one (double edged bowie 5 series, I think?).
I had an M4 from Richmond, Va. Loved the steel on that knife. I never thought the Ill. steel measured up quite the same.
