Great News from Ek

 GREAT NEWS: from the great people at Ek Knives. I spent some time on the telephone with Mr. Buerlein talking knives in general and he advised me of an upcoming replica of the first ever Ek Knife. This new Model One was going to closely duplicate the original model 1 which was so popular with fighting men in WW-II. He put me down on the list to receive a knife and it arrived a few months later. It is illustrated here. One of the first things to greet my eyes was a very nicely made walnut, glass-topped display case. The knife box itself came wrapped in a waxed paper. Upon opening it I was further amazed to see that the box was a reproduction of the original boxes that Ek Knives were shipped in.

 The attention to detail and quality has always been one of Bob's hallmarks. The box seemed to set the stage for the knife which was further protected by a white linen bag. Finally I pulled out the knife and was tremendously impressed with the finish on the blade, crisp etching, razor sharp edges, traditionally shaped and colored maple handle scales properly held in place with lead rivets. It is a superb collectors piece and fully functional fighting knife. I almost forgot to tell you about the reproduction sheath, made in the original style of heavy leather with a nice long tie down thong and reinforced with rivets. Kudos to the entire team at Ek Knives and Bob Buerlein for a quality job. Thanks Bob for the 007 serial number!
