The United States Navy Knife

One of 2500, the United States Navy 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
United States Navy Knife honors the service of the United
States Navy in Vietnam from 1961-1973.



Inside of the Mahogany Knife Case is its own Embedded
Certificate of Authenticity that says United States Navy
on the top with the United States Navy Seal. Across the
center, the certificate reads THE VIETNAM TRIBUTE
COLLECTION and then certifies the Authentication
of the Collection.



The United States Navy Knife Armorhide handle has the
solid colors of green and gray with a gold rope wrapping
around the handle seperating those colors.


The display side of the handle has the Seal for the United
Navy. The shoulder of the blade has the insignia for the
United States Navy Seventh Fleet. The rest of the display
side of the blade has an engraved action scene with a United
States Navy PBR in the foreground and a Gunboat in the
background. There is a group of A7 Corsairs flying overhead.
The United States Navy Knife says "In Honor of the United
States Navy" to the left of the engraved action scene and
"Vietnam 1961-73" to the right.



The back of the United States Navy 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.
