  I've got two of them,one's near mint with box and papers,and the other was rode hard and put away wet.Scibeer re-habbed it for me,rescaled with orange G-10. I have  fondness for all the 108 mm knives,but the Mauser is the king of the hill in my book.

 
      I wish I could download some pics,my daughter gave me a really good digital camera,but forgot the cable to download from camera,to computer

I had one until last week.  It went as part of my thinning out.  See, I really am getting rid of stuff :)

How rare are Mausers? And does anyone know if the sheath I have came with it. I got mine off of ebay awhile ago.

Mine didn't come with a sheath, so I'm pretty sure they don't as a rule :)

As for rarity, Vic I believe only made 40K of them, which is a drop in the ocean compared to all the other Sak's they make, infact that's about half a day's production :o

Thanks. I carried mine for a while after I got it. One of my favorite SAKs.

I had long wondered why they combined the saw and the opener.    This is my theory:

Using such a short saw is such hard, hot, work that you may need to open a beer quickly to cool off. :drink:

Mauser is well known German gun manufacturer that the knife was produced for.
It has all the GAK/Trooper knife tools plus the unique clip point blade "the Mauser blade".
I am not sure when they stopped manufacture it but as far as I know it is been in the 80's.

Yes, the Mauser was made as a private companion piece for owners of the Mauser rifle. There were a total of 25,000 made and it has become a rare icon for SAK lovers like the Scientist, Yeoman, etc.

Taking Mauser for camping is like taking BMW X5 offroad lol It is possible but it is a waste.

Buy him a Farmer and get the Mauser back.  That sounds like a good deal for both of you to me. :)

Might just buy myself a farmer and let him keep the Mauser it has some battle scaring so is of little value as a collectors item and at least it is serving some useful purpose this way

I have to disagree with that.  The Mauser is a great woods knife.  The BMW X5 is not a great offroader.

I get your point though.  ;)
