Its so hard to find this maker?
So here it is with my hewer.

Ray,
A beauty indeed. I can say I've seen a bunch of Pack hewers over the years but can't recall seeing a Leader's dagger by Pack. This one is nicely conditioned too. That hewer is a screamer as well, that stag & blade. Just super.

A rare pair indeed the Rad EM is probably harder to find then the leader I have seen the leader with the early Pack mark as well.

Hey guys
I found a new piece for my collection.
It's in very nice condition with matte finish blade and distributor mark in reverse side.
Interesting is a weight.This hewer is almost 7.5g lighter than the earlier model.
Any idea,why they start to use lighter materials in later models?
Regards
Stingray

Hello ROB B, in my humble opinion it was a weight thing. These leightweight materials were modern materials. Perhaps these leightweight modells could not take over because of a cheaper image but I think there were several men who did estimate them when wearing such a specimen during a whole series of party days or during a long deployment...
