ODA 732 Mark II Vietnam Presentation Knife

I have recently recently purchased a 7th Group Mark II Presentation Knife. It is in mint condition and wondered if anyone has one or knows the history of this knife. Thanks.

Ronnie Chisum


Vietnam Special Forces Presentation Mark 2-----Mint-----The blade is 7" long and marked "ODA-732" / 7th Special Forces Gp. (ABN)" along with the Special Forces Crest. The handle is perfect. It comes with the original dark brown sheath that is in mint condition. Ref: Clinton-Knives of the US Special Forces pg 25-----Mint------

Looks like another version of one of these.

Thin leather sheath indicates that it was a presentation item, not intended for wear.

What he said..

Thru the PS.com link, here is a collectors vision of Viet Nam pointy/pokey things. It may not be all inclusive, but I think yours falls into the PCS gift category..

The link covers most if not all the knives carried, to include Camillus K-bars style.
