When Chris started making the one piece knives, there were a few versions prior to the Mk IV which was a 7 inch clip point with a saw back. He then introduced the Aviator, the Jereboams and then the Shadows. By 1995, we had the following:
Jereboam Mk I - 9 inch clip point with sawback
Jereboam Mk II - 9 inch clip point with no sawback
Mk IV - 7 inch clip point with sawback
Mk V - 7 inch clip point no sawback
Mk VI - 5.5 inch clip point no sawback
Aviator - 4 inch clip point with sawback
Mountaineer I - 4 inch clip point, single guard
Mountaineer II - 5.5 inch clip point, single guard
Shadow I - 9 inch spearpoint
Shadow II - 7 inch spearpoint
Shadow III - 4 inch spearpoint
Shadow IV - 5.5 inch spearpoint
Project I - 7.5 inch spearpoint (which began life as the Pachmayr Field Survivor)
Project II - 7.5 inch clip point
Sable I - 9 inch up swept blade single guard
Sable II - 7 inch up swept blade single guard
Sable III - 4 inch up swept blade single guard
Sable IV - 5.5 inch up swept blade single guard
Tanto I - 9 inch chisel point
Tanto II - 7 inch chisel point
Tanto III - 4 inch chisel point
Tanto IV - 5.5 inch chisel point
Ubejane - 4.5 inch skinner
We rearranged the whole product line during 1995, reducing to the present selection. Note: Please don't ask if we will make special orders for any of the deleted models - we won't!
As special, exclusive or limited editions, we have also done the following (the figure in brackets indicates how many we made):
9 inch dagger (25)
7 inch dagger (25)
4 inch dagger (25)
5.5 inch dagger (25)
18 inch "short sword - 1 in the shape of a Sable, 11 daggers

9 inch Kathathu (25)
7.5 inch Kathathu (100)
5.5 inch Kathathu (66)
4 inch Kathathu (100)
6.5 inch stylized Tanto (25) exclusive to Moskito Wholesale in Hungary
4 inch Tanto (200) exclusive to NICA stores
7.5 inch Nkonka - new in 2002
5.5 inch clip point with sawback (50) exclusive for Midwest Gun Exchange (currently available)
That's all I can think of right now other than that we have,at various times, made modifications to existing models on a one-off basis like double (or single) cross guard, serrations (or no serrations)on the cutting edge.
It is possible there are others out there - I can't think of them right now! There are not many pictures around but you can pretty well imagine what the different knives look like because we keep the blade shapes pretty standard.
