The United States Air Force Knife

One of 2500, the United States Air Force Knife issued by
the American Historical Foundation and manufactured by
Gerber Legendary Blades of Portland, Oregon is very rare.
Displayed here in its own hand crafted Mahogany Case, the
the United States Air Force Knife honors the service of
the United States Air Force in Vietnam from 1961-1973.



Inside of the Mahogany knife case is its own embedded
certificate of authenticity that says United States Air Force
on the top with the United States Air Force Seal. Across
the center, the certificate reads THE VIETNAM TRIBUTE
COLLECTION and then certifies the authentication of the
collection.



The United States Air Force Knife Armorhide handle has a
combination light green, dark green and khaki jungle
camouflage scheme. The display side of the handle has the
Seal for the United States Air Force.



On the display side of The United States Air Force Knife,
the shoulder of the blade has the insignia for the Pacific
Air Forces. The rest of the display side of the blade has a
stunning engraved combat scene with United States Air
Force F4 Phantoms and B52 Bombers in the background. The
United States Air Force Knife says "In Honor of the United
States Air Force" to the left of the engraved combat scene
and "Vietnam 1961-73" to the right.





The back of the United States Air Force Knife has the Gerber
Legendary Blades logo, below the logo is the word GERBER
in capital letters. Below GERBER, in smaller capital letters it
says PORTLAND, ORE. U.S.A. and below that is the serial
#1996. The Serial Number on the back of the Knife matches
the Serial Number on the Embedded Certificate of
Authenticity inside of the Mahogany Knife Case, and the
Serial Number on the plate for the Gold Leaf Wall Display
Mount.
