Morey MK 1 Knife

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Morey MK 1 knife was originally designed in late 1991 by Chuck Morey who was enlisted in the US Navy at the time. The interesting thing about this knife is the fact that it was the only combat knife manufactured in the Persian Gulf for use in Operation Desert Storm. To be clear, the Morey MK 1 is not a US Military issue knife, but it is highly prized by collectors. In 1991 Morey MK 1 knives sold for about $10, in 2006 they sometimes fetch upwards of $100. Only 500 knives were manufactured, and distributed exclusively to members of coalition forces. Additional information on this knife may be found in the November 2004 issue of Knife World magazine.
