The grandfather of one of my scouts was an Air Force pilot back in Vietnam and he had me sharpen his survival knife at the Jamboree. He had one of the original Marbles delivered to the USAF for testing after Korea, and the Camillus they issued him in Vietnam. He was giving the Camillus to his grandson for making Eagle Scout. That man had some stories.
You can still buy the Marbles JPSK prototypes and first run Camillus with the 6" blades if you look super hard, but the most common are the 5" Camillus and now the Ontario Knife Company 499's with 5" blades.
