thorin6 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted June 11, 2014 Heres some close ups of the Utica Co Mark 2. These were made in 1961-62 to the original military specifications and were the first post-WWII manufactured Mark 2s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted June 11, 2014 The the scabbard tip. The stitching has come loose and the leather has separated. I took an old leather tie down and attached it to keep the brass grommets in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDermut99 Posted June 11, 2014 Share #14 Posted June 11, 2014 Nice haul! All three knives' look to be in good condition, the sheaths also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted June 11, 2014 Share #15 Posted June 11, 2014 I'm not familiar with the M1909 bolo but that is one impressive knife. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted June 11, 2014 Share #18 Posted June 11, 2014 I had a chance to check out the Utica at the Raleigh show. It was a beauty. Love those M1909 Bolos, they are a heavy, long bladed, "no nonsense", piece of equipment. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share #22 Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for all the comments. I'd like to add that this Utica Mark 2 is my third one. My first one was well used, and I sold it when I picked up a second one that was in very good condition and the sheath was in the original color. This knife is in excellent condition so now my second one has become excess. I always upgrade whenever I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
