    I loved this Knife and used it for many Years as a Boy Scout.
    Better than every "Ranbo-Knife" what you could use to Butter a Bread but no working.
    A while ago I got a Box of Spare Part's, everything except Blades.

      Hello all,

      I happened to buy this knife. It was an auction on a well known auction platform that deals only with weapons.
      The pictures weren't that nice but I tried my luck anyway....

      On all pictures that I can find in the web the blades always sport markings.....but this knife doesn't

      I would like to know your opinion on it.

      thank you,


      Alex

        I think I have some broken Blades in my spare box without any Markings and I think to remember also some Handles without the BW, but they came with a huge VEBEG Lot about 20-25 Yrs ago, so they're no Civy copies. They allway's bought the cheapest Offer, they just had to meet the Specs.

          hmmmmm...... this sounds kind of good ....gives me some hope that the Goddess Fortuna assisted me

          am curious if there will be some more comments though....

            I also have one of these knives. When I was stationed in Germany in the 70's, I found the knife in the attached photos at a small shop in Tubingen. Maybe 20 marks or so, I don't remember. It worked well for me at the time and I still have it. I had it engraved with my name, unit and the place where I was stationed at. It was a very nice knife!

                  I have one of these marked "FES / Rostfrei" on the blade ricasso. It has a serated blade section as well as a bottle opener cutout on the blade. The molded plastic hilt has false screws and a tri-color diamond on the obverse. Do we know if these are private purchase "PX" knives or reproductions or something else?

                    Hi !

                    Such knives were made for tourists, nothing more ...
