Wow Vic I have been looking for a M3 to match my FS Dagger for a while now.

Speaking of special runs of military issue Busse kin knives here is a great one and my most desired but sadly not available knife.

I used to have a great little article about this knife on my Putfile page written by the owner and Putfile removed and lost it. I hate them but moving 2000+ pics is a pain.




Anyway Swamprat made this limited run for a unit of CF(Canadian Forces)Combat Engineers and the sheath is custom.

Here is a photo of a WW2 US army ranger with a brit FS Dagger.


Here is a classic US knife.


German ,French/Nazi ,US ,allied daggers and the photo that made me want an M3 of my own.


OSS assassin weapons instructor kit ,aka the holy grail of WW2 collectors.


Luftwaffe gravity knife.


When the British were not pussies.

I think this is a US WW1 or possibly a WW2 but still cool although the knuckle guard makes for a poor grip.

This is my beloved second pattern FS dagger and the only knife in these photos I actually own.

The Hitler Youth daggers had the scales replaced after the war and were used as Boy Scout knives. Even after they started producing their own Scout knives they kept the pattern.

This excellent manual is available free for download (legally because it is a Marine manual)at Steves pages.

This is a very interesting hollow handled Vietnam era knife called a Parson Hollow I think. Any info would be great?

Strider did a lot for the tactical knife business.

The CF issue knife is not the least bit tactical but it is practical.

I will end on a strange but interesting knife. Someone missed the point of beating their swords into plowshares when they made a autoknife out of 100% recycled AK parts. I want one and not just because it manages to break about 15 Canadian laws by it's very existence.
