MACV – SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observation Group), 1964 to 1972: special operations force deployed for top-secret operations during the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia.
In the film “First Blood”, the action hero with the code name “Raven” was a member of the MACV-SOG reconnaissance team “Baker”, which Pohl Force would like to honor with this special edition. An interpretation of the former coat of arms of the special unit is applied to the blade of the MK-9 Legacy | RT Baker as an elaborately designed laser engraving. A further highlight is the patch woven for the edition in a very small batch. This makes the MK-9 Legacy | RT Baker a unique collector’s item with a real historical reference.
2022 was a special year for designer Dietmar Pohl. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary, he was able to travel to the place where both the story of the film First Blood began and his personal life story: Hope, British Columbia, Canada.
To honor the 40th anniversary, Dietmar Pohl designed the extraordinary MK-9 Legacy survival knife, which had its world premiere in Hope. The very first prototype of the MK-9 Legacy with Kydex® sheath was presented on the banks of the Fraser River in the breathtaking landscape of British Columbia. The Pohl Force MK-11 also made its debut there. The time in Hope became an unforgettable experience!
The MK-9 LEGACY celebrated its worldwide premiere in Hope, B.C. – Canada on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the movie. The legendary place where it all began!

A few days ago, Dietmar Pohl met knifemaker Stoil Manchev at his workshop in Sofia. On his homeward journey from the Bulgarian capital, Pohl had 50 exclusively signed MK-10 Last Blood® Kydex® sheaths and photo prints in his luggage. A highlight for all MOVIE KNIFE fans.
The Bulgarian knifemaker and designer Stoil Manchev had the great privilege of designing a very special dagger for the final part “Last Blood”. With its stainless Damascus steel blade and the exceptional handle design, which also allows a view of the exciting Damascus structure, this dagger is a real eye-catcher!

A personal highlight for Dietmar Pohl was definitely the movie night on October 8, 2022 in Hope, BC.
As guest of honor, he was allowed to open the movie night in the Hope Cinema with a personal speech to the fan audience from all over the world. The Hope Cinema could not have been better chosen, since it was here that Sylvester Stallone had made the final cut of the film Rocky 3 “The Eye of the Tiger” during the filming of First Blood. It was all the more beautiful for Dietmar Pohl not only to tell his personal story about First Blood and his resulting career, but also to do so in this historic film house.
