"New" knife. - bigpaul - 12 April 2014

just been given a knife by my SIL for my birthday, its nearly 8 inches total length with a 4inch blade, very thin blade 1inch wide with a wooden handle, I think its ex MOD as it is stamped with the MOD mark like an arrow and the date 1978 and a number.comes with a very old, thick,black leather sheath. anybody know what it is or what it was used for??

I've seen that on a knife website, its listed as a British Army COMBAT knife.

BP I'm a novice when it comes to knives. Why is that a combat knife? I thought combat knives those double edged commando dagger type things? How is a blunt nosed knife like that used in combat?

It looks a similar shape the Hultafors Craftmans Knife which seems to be widely regarded as a first rate survival knife.

BM. How much do knives like the one you have shown cost? It looks excellent.

£45/55, depending where you go.
