Gerber Mark 2 style dagger

[FrankG]

Does anyone know of a high quality dagger similar in size and shape to the Gerber Mark 2? Excluding the Cold Steel Peacekeeper and Randall #2( can't swing that yet).

You could try to find an AL MAR Shadow dagger....they are discontinued but show up on ebay from time to time.

They are very close to a MKII


Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2213714249&category=43326

SOG makes one called the Desert Dagger. Check it out at www.sogknives.com .

I guess it depends upon how close. I have a Bauchop Warlock which shows a strong Sykes-Fairbairn influence, however it doesn't have the waisted profile of the Mk 2.

I always liked the Applegate-Fairbairn (AF) best of the production daggers. Boker makes a couple of variations on the original design, including serrations. AG Russel has some on stock and a very good picture of what it looks like:

If you can find them, the earlier Blackjack-made ones seem to be of very good quality - I had the chance to handle one some years ago and was pretty impressed.

Ek makes a good one as well.
The A-F by Boker/Al Mar is a winner.
There are custom makers who will do one for you to your specs.
