JOHN EK MIAMI MODEL 5 & MODEL 6 KNIVES & HUEY COBRA PILOT'S CERTIFICATE

The following 3 items are included in this auction:

  1. MIAMI STYLE 5 - ARMY OCCUPATIONAL: 7 inch Clip Point, Full Tang Blade; Nickel-Chrome-Moly Steel: 1-1/2 Sharpened Edges; Walnut Standard Type Handle with Poured Lead Rivets; Has Extended Tang; Has Lanyard Hole in Handle;

  2. MIAMI STYLE 6 - PATTON OCCUPATIONAL: 7 inch, Clip Point, Full Tang Blade; With Thin Brass Guard; Nickel-Chrome-Moly Steel; 1-1/2 Sharpened Edges; Walnut Standard Type Handle with Poured Lead Rivets; Has Extended Tang; Has Lanyard Hole in Handle;

  3. A Huey Cobra AH-1G Pilot's Certificate made out to a Major William M. Price and dated 24 February 1969. The dimension is 8 x 10 inches and comes enclosed in a plastic protector.

The Miami Model 5 & 6 pair have the same serial number 141. When I bought the 2 knives, they came accompanied with two sheaths for the straight blade type Miami 1 and 2 knives. I used them for other knives as the models 5 and 6 require the clip point type sheaths. I don't know what happened to the original sheaths.

The Huey Cobra AH-1G Pilot's Certificate is made out to a Major William M. Price. Supposedly Major Price ordered the knife pair and requested the same serial number on both. I have not been able to find anything about Major Price. There are records of a William Marshall Price but he was a first lieutenant and was shot down in Vietnam on 12 October 1972.

The Model 5 has a rough spot on the ricasso of the side opposite the serial number (See Image 5)

The Model 6's brass guard is tarnished and has a crack in the handle that has been repaired by a previous owner. (See Image 9). The handle repair is solid.

Otherwise the knives appear to be unused.

The knife pair comes without sheaths.

Photos are of the actual items.
