Is the triangular emblem placed on all RTAK II knives? I just recieved one without one and am wondering about its authenticity.

I called OKC about this issue. They stated that the contract with Randle's Adventure Training is over. All new products will not have the logo.

I purchased mine almost two months ago and it does have the triangular Randals Adventure Training emblem on it.

Mine does. And all the rtaks(new) I have seen in person do also. I made sure I was purchasing mine strictly from Amazon because I have heard of fakes going around. Mine is on the blade. It also was packed with a authentic Ontario box. If I were you I would call Smoky Mountain knife works. They are in pigeon forge tn. Ask for the Ontario dep. They have pretty knowledgeable people who will know for sure. Their # 865-453-5871. I wish you luck.

Dear Ms Kurth, I don't know the answer to your question. Mine has the triangle and I purchased it here on Amazon about a year ago. I tried to buy another one for my son about Christmas time. It wasn't available at that time. It appears that they have produced another run of RTAK II knives at Ontario. The new run may not have the triangle printed on the blade; but, I'm not sure. Sorry, I can't answer your question. You might be able to ask Ontario customer service. Nutnfancy's review on YouTube led me to purchase the RTAK II. I'm a very old man, so it sits along side my BOB. I'm old but not so old I don't want a BOB. Dear Ms Kurth, I don't know the answer to your question. Mine has the triangle and I purchased it here on Amazon about a year ago.

Yes, that is the exact knife I received. It said it was for an AK, so I thought it was an old style "type-1" as opposed to the newer style "type-2" you see more often. The hole for the muzzle is too small, and the latch is clearly for a different mounting out. I suspect it's for a Mauser type rifle, but don't hold me to that.

The knife I ordered said that it would have the medallion on it but the knife I got did not!!! It was the reason I ordered it in the first place. Still a very good knife

It appears to be a light stamp and some paint. The logo will definitely fade with time and use; mine has faded slightly already. In my case, I don't care about the logo because it is a fine knife. But if you care about the logo you will need to touch it up with paint over time, or else choose a different knife I guess.

I assume you're talking about the ACB-90, which was the knife for premium users?That one is here, but it looks like it's out of stock.: United Cutlery United M48 Kommando Survivor Knife

I have one with the number on the blade next to the handle. I don't remember, if the one I bought is the one I currently have. The one I bought through Amazon was recalled because of the sheath, so, I sent it back (maybe it was just the sheath???), and they put some more metal rivets in it or sent me a new sheath??? I had heard that one or more persons had tried to holster the blade upside down and it cut the stitching out of the sheath. Unless there is more than one recall, this is the only one I have heard of. They reinforced the stitched side with the metal rivets, so, you couldn't cut yourself or let the blade drop out and cut your toes off??? I have one with the number on the blade next to the handle.

I'm unsure man. Sorry. I wouldn't try simply because it wasn't forged in Japan but in China. It says its traditional style and is hand forged by some captain or whatever. He possibly put his name on it though.

It depends where you order it from. I got the one in the picture and I ordered mine from top swords. Go to more buying options and select top swords if you don't want the one with the red outline. I've heard a lot of complaints about the ones people got from other sellers as well

I believe it is the us army knife, WWII era. I could be wrong, if have to take a look at it; as it is put up.

No; though thy appear raised, and technically the 3.0 emblems are supposed to be raised, the emblems I received were not. I would not recommend buying from any of the sellers you find online, especially those shipping from overseas. I bought two sets from two separate sellers and was highly disappointed with both as neither were as advertised (one was actually a mix of flat and raised). I finally located a set as a local aftermarket shop that specialized in customizing imports. If you can find such a place near where you live, I would recommend going there in person to make the purchase. The location I found actually had several different styles and colors to choose from.

Wow I never noticed that b4. Mine is right handed so maybe the picture was just messed up or they put up the wrong 1but this knife is 1 of the best k nifes I have

The emblem on the set that I bought was a stamped metal piece with adhesive tape behind it. It was already applied to the rails. I just removed mine, but I would think if you are careful, you could remove them and relocate them elsewhere.

This particular one is more a collector's item and does have the KBar company logo. I bought one of these back in the 70's from Atlanta Cutlery and it recently got stolen. I ordered another. For $44 it is a very good work knife and does not have the logo, but is of the Kbar design: Ontario 498 Marine Combat Knife (Black)

No, there is no stamping of a character "B" on the knife surface. If you are asking whether this knife is factory seconds, it isn't. I called Henckels and they confirmed that this set they sell through Amazon is a new set from them.

The one you will receive will look exactly like the website. When I ordered mine I noticed the same thing, but the knife I received is exactly like the pictures on the SOG website.
