And so, it seems only fitting that their collaboration project would be another folder based on a famous fighting knife, this time the Ek Commando Knife (https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/products/1017293/), designed by John Ek in 1941 and carried by American soldiers through WWII (and long after).

I think this knife is very cool just on it’s own, but even cooler with a little background, so for those unfamiliar:
Allen Elishewitz and Les George are two iconic American custom knife makers. Les George’s best known design is his Mk 3 folder (https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/products/1098945/), which is modeled after the famous Ontario Mk 3 Knife (https://ontarioknife.com/products/mod-mark-3-dive-knife?variant=31397361942614), used by the US Navy and special forces.
Allen Elishewitz’s most famous design is the MAC V SOG Folder (https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/index.php/products/1094920/), of course modeled after the incredibly famous SOG Knife (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOG_Knife), used by US Special Forces.
