Just Received the CATALOG ++++ Looks like all the photo pages are SHOWN ABOVE Although I did notice some interesting ITEMS and NOTES One is the ARMY MINE PLANTER COLLAR I would never have Guessed OR is this a misprint ? Next is this notation on the PRICE page for the ROTC items Look to be PRE WAR But offered with CLUTCH BACK / SCREW BACK OR SAFETY CATCH AND note the AMCRAFT / ACID TEST cut-out ? is this referring to notation being added on back in the cut-out ?

That is a very nice collection of knives!   When I was a child my father sold and collected many Gerber knives. I had Gerbers, Benchmarks, and Blackie Collin’s  knives… along with Randall’s, Liles, Coopers, Ray Beers and the list goes on. Today I only have 3 of the hundreds we had. I think I still have all the marketing book salesman pages.

It was also THE bag for Special Forces.  In fact, they carried that bag in canvas through the 80s.
