Well, it seems that my other knives were well received so here are my RNZAF blades .... the 'jungle knives' are 'well used' probably having seen service in the woodshed after the war, but are good honest examples and they are few and far in between so im happy with them they are both marked on the blade RNZAF

[Boyd 9211]

And my last knife is another RNZAF blade which I guess a lot of people will say is a Carlson Raider knife ... it looks identical other than the scabbard but again these were issued to Kiwi airforce types.







well thats it chaps .... hope you like them.

That 'Raider' knife is superb! I haven't seen one before.

[Boyd 9211]

Yes they are very similar to the V44 only alloy handled ... I have heard that when stationed here in NZ Carlson comissioned manufacture of some if these for his raiders only a very small number !
Meantime the RNZAF also had some made and here you have one ...
