I have a Gerber Mark II circa 69/70. The knife was a gift passed to me by a friend that when he went stateside. Though not good for much other than it's intended use it has one very outstanding feature, that being the "Cat's Tongue" grip. After at least 2 tours in VN and another 34 years of being my bedside companion, the grip shows no wear (other than some discoloration.

My question is: Why isn't this type of grip seen on other knives? Was it proprietary to Gerber?
