The Holy Grail of USN “Mark V Knives”: The Anti-Magnetic Fischer Spring
 
Presented here is the rarest and arguably most coveted Mark V knife: the anti-magnetic Fischer Spring. These extraordinary knives were issued to divers working around underwater mines designed to detonate via magnetic attraction, such as those deployed near ships' hulls.
 
Crafted from a unique combination of beryllium, brass, and wood, these knives were produced in limited numbers by Fischer Spring. Their distinctive gold-colored beryllium blades and backstory make them the ultimate prize for many collectors. This particular example is further distinguished by its "EODS" stamp, likely signifying its use in an explosive ordnance disposal unit.
 
While this knife shows evidence of underwater service, it has not been abused. The remarkable beryllium blade remains in excellent condition, free from any defects. The "Fischer Spring N.Y." and military specification number "C-713051" are clearly stamped on one side of the blade.
 
The wood handle displays signs of age and use, with the original finish worn in some areas. A hairline crack is present near the base, but it does not compromise the handle's structural integrity. The brass sheath exhibits signs of age but remains in serviceable condition.
 
Significantly, the brass end of the knife and one side of the blade are both stamped "EODS." While further research is needed to confirm its exact meaning, it is likely an explosive ordnance disposal designation.
 
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the most elusive and desirable Mark V knives available.
