[SOLD] Ek Commando Knife M4 “Fortes Fortuna Juvat”
This is a genuine Ek (pre Kabar) double edged M4 in very good, clean condition, made in the Richmond, VA era under Bob Buerlein.
Thick contoured micarta slabs for handles and the blade is marked “Fortes Fortuna Juvat” – Fortune favors the bold.
No rust, but there are some nitpicks that I will point out:
- the Ek laser etching is etched twice from what I can see. Not sure why that happened. Probably makes it somewhat uique lol
- There’s some superficial surface scratch near the etching. It’s very hard to see under normal light but with the WORST reflection, this is what it looks like:
The knife is unused but it was terribly blunt when I received it. I touched up and polished the edges on my Ken Onion Blade Grinder Attachment, and now its serviceable.
Includes factory nylon sheath, – no box. SOLD, shipped worldwide.
NB: This knife is in my other home overseas, but it still takes 10-15 working days to reach you.

[SOLD] Case Winkler Skinner with black canvas micarta handles, in excellent condition. 80CRV2 steel, heat treat by Winkler. Only used in the kitchen to cut vegetables and meat, never batoned. Has a patina in the Caswell finish. Never batoned. Factory edge from Case was uneven and blunt – I have fixed this to 20 degrees on the Worksharp and stropped. I also got custom kydex taco sheath from Linos Sheath Works, since the factory one was HUGE.
