British/Canadian - Paratrooper Knife

Allied Forces > Commonwealth > Edged Weapons >

This is a multi-purpose knife featuring a 8cm single-edged blade, a 11cm Marlin spike, and a smaller 4.5cm pointed, double sided blade, all in polished steel, all folding into a 11cm housing faced with cross-hatched blackened panels, one of which has a crack. The double-edged blade has the stamped maker mark etched to the bottom. The knife is completed by a lanyard ring. The blades show storage surface oxidation and wear with blackening and some corrosion to their surfaces. A nice, complete and salty example.
