I have seen these knives several times over the years and I love their classic design meshed with current utility capabilities.

 

If any of the members have one, I would love to see some pictures. Thanks and have a great night.

Always liked them too.I wanted to order a couple models but never did.

I don't have any EDMF knives but I do have a few of the knuckle grips that they made for the USM9 bayonet.

 

John Gibson currently has one of the classic "Iraqi Bellringer" knives for sale.

 

 

I have several of Dale's knives, having bought the first one in about 1992. He made a darned good knife for the small amount of money he charged.

 

I had a few more ordered, but he contacted me to say that he wouldn't be able to make them due to health issues.

 

Too bad. A good smith and a great guy...

 

Here's 3 of them. When I dig out the rest I'll post them

Here is a Bolo bladed one Dale made for me back in November 2011.

 

Number #1967

 

I always intended to get one made on a KaBar blade. They look pretty impressive. I finally picked up both a KaBar and an M7 with bad handles and sent Dale an email, but he had retired. I sent the M7 blade to Plowshare Forge and had a M1918 MkI aluminum handle put on it.

I ordered M7 and M9 handles also. I carried the M7 on a deployment to Afghanistan and got a lot of comments on it. The M9 has a really good feel to it. For 35.00 each I thought these were exceptional bargains.

Gents,

 

I haven't seen any recent posts here but thought I'd post for fans of Dale Sanberg's/EDMF knives; I just got these EDMF's from Frank Trzaska!

Cool!  THX for showing!  SKIP

I like the Green Beret Skip in your thumbnail pic ... SF? I retired out of 1st Group not too long ago. Drew

I’ve been looking for an EDMF Iraqi Bellringer/Desert Storm for years; I always considered this version to be the pinnacle one to collect out of all of Dale Sandberg’s knives; found it last year lingering on eBay. I even have the background history and the name of the original Air Force vet owner, thanks to Frank Trzaska! The photos make it look rougher than it actually looks; other than the paint flaking off, it’s actually in excellent condition!
