I've been collecting and learning about the Gerber Mark II for over 19 years. I also collect John Ek and Randall Knives but on a limited scale.

I am a member of a Disaster Service Workers Unit and hold an Emergency Medical Services EMT-B certification as well as an FCC Technician Class Radio License. I also enjoy hiking, construction and maintenance of hiking trails, backpacking and botanical photography of native plants.

I would like to thank the many individuals who share my preference for the collection of military edged weapons and were willing to help a fellow collector in many ways both large and small. Special thanks to the following individuals (listed in alphabetical order):

Bill Adams, J. Philip Bailey, Al Betters, Gary Boyd, Fred Bratman, Gary Brown(deceased), Louis Chow, Tom Clinton(deceased), Frank Dobbish, D.C. Futrell, John Gibson, Mike Golden, Doug Hutchens, Frank Kalana, Ed Klimek, Roland Klimek, Bob Kotula, Rick Larson, Ernie Modlin, Tom Ormiston(deceased), Robert Norris(deceased), Harvey Reisberg, Richard Sams, Richard Schechner, Mike Silvey, Alvin Snapper, Larry Thomas and Larry Winiewicz.
