It is a beautifull Dagger,i wish i could own one in my collection

5:17 I have that exact Knife and Sheath, that belonged to my Father. He was on the USS Omaha. '43-'44 (Not 4 Sale of course)

I like the honesty. It's not about utility, it's basically a dangerous fidget toy

2nd blade you open is called a sheep's foot.

I found the knife at my families house in SF! Beautiful knife

I have one that’s missing da bottom pommel !

Well that was a lucky buyer.

I'm not sure what prompted you to go so deep on the research of this knife but I'm so happy that you did~ Cheers!

Most Sog vets that ran missions ate the indidge rations so they did t smell like an American

If you see this please let me know, if you know, what they used to keep the pommels on the knife. I have this exact knife, marked too, and the pommel is missing the metal that would seal it to the tang. I want to re seal it but don’t know what metal it is. I don’t think it’s aluminum, the melting point would be too high and would melt the plastic and burn the leather when pouring it into the pommel to seal it. I only know it’s poured in because of how the remaining metal is connected on the tang of my knife where it fell out from

The M1 Sniperscope was used in WW2. M2 Sniperscope was being made as the war ended. It was pushed into service in Korea while the M3 scope was being made. Your case is for the M3. Nice Case!

I have the parkerized version in very nice condition my grandfather left me.

Not odd that it had USMC on it. MACVSOG oversaw units from all branches of the service. Marines under SOG would have been Force Recon. Most SOG folks were Army Special Forces. I will say though that if this knife were carried in the field, it is in remarkable condition. I was in SOG in 68, and the SOG knife existed then. I didn't have one, partially because no one ever turned them back in. I had the Air Force Survival Knife.

Bel pezzo

Loved the canted blade models very very nice knife. They did tuck into the body when strapped on a load bearing vest or wherever gear you wanted it on.

Great info. I was at SOG the summer of 68. No SOG knife was issued. The reason I heard was that NONE were ever returned. lol. So, my "SOG" knife was the Air Force Survival Knife (with of course a Swiss Army knife in my pocket.). An ugly but useful tool. No regrets.

Love people prepare to do a video. They don't. Look we don't need to know why you haven't done something just stop with the senseless chatter and get to the point of the video.

Searching on eBay for one with thumb grooves. Dont mind a replica, can’t afford an original. Any recommendations on where to buy one?

Awesomely video!

I have a Boker replica of the V-42 complete with replica sheath. I have never handled a true V-42 , but the balance of the replica is awesome. It's a beautiful knife.

I thought they were made from .50 bmg bullets??? Or were they actually just solid steel??? I would think a lead core bullet would have greater velocity and performance???

Metal detector friendly

Just found one in an original, but not correct for the knife M6 scabbard viner 1943. The USM6 in the leather is overstamped with XXXXXX. Would that indicate it was sold as surplus after ww2?

My grandfather's is locked in my safe. Made by case with sheath

Blade length is another deadly feature allowing you to reach the vitals organs 🫀🫁

My favorite would be the buck 119, 120, 122 and 124. In the era they were made by hand to a very high standard. They were popular for private purchase and some units issued them.

Excellent video!!!

Airborne!

SOG guys always make me feel short.

Airborne!

Ive got a post war civilian version. No bluing and brass guard, and makes a great hunting knife too.

One replica of battle knife maybe not be so bad.The problem is that they are selling that like a genuine knife that fought in the war with the money of the original.The cost of one reproduction knife is not so expensive, like the presentation who we see in the video.

Your knife same age as me . I’ve got the gerber command ll 1 of 1500 series. Don’t plan on using it , unless SHTF lol

That was awesome watching this video 👍🏻🇦🇺

Got some nice one there, sooo, play cards, ah, badly?

Did Gerber ever make a Fork and Spoon to go with that Knife? Or a maybe a Killing/Survival Spork?

A substitute that comes to my school a lot was one of the medics in the group of men that owned Bubba. Almost every time I have a class with him he tells stories of how the interrogations went.

Awesome video! I think I have one of the 5th Special Forces Group Vietnam lighters Ben Baker procured for the men in his unit. I bought it at the big military show in Louisville last week. Thanks

Western w-49

It was definitely a combat knife, not based on a hunting knife design.

Awesome video. When I was a little kid, my grandpa taught me the method he used to throw his knife, during the war. More than 20 years later... I throw shuriken on youtube. Life is interesting. haha

you have some very nice knifes

The Case is definitely one of my favorites

Agreed!! In 1965 I purchased a Randall Model 14 while on my way to Vietnam - I paid $25 for it, and waited (maybe?) two weeks for delivery from Orlando, FL to Okinawa. In 2003 my older son carried that knife during his service in the Iraqi War.

My dad lost his fighting hand to hand. I do have his uniform in mint condition. Also several combat worn insignia patches.

I have a repop of this. It stays sharp and moves sweet in the hand.

What would a numbered model in good condition with original sheath and stone be valued around? It appears to be the plum variant, having a serial number of 26xx. Thank you in advance for your insight and for the informative video.

I mean collectible wise sure, but if you’re wanting the best available then that one that Boker makes has much better steel and for me is balanced better than even the original that I personally held and all of the case stuff in general.

Ok so, Story time ? 😅😅
