Re: Just because…
your WEPS hasn’t been delivered yet, while you are waiting, it would be great to see some of the knives in your collections that will soon be sharper than ever. Here is another one of mine that I love. In my write up about my story, I mention that I took Defendo from an ex-commando and at that time I developed a love for knives starting with the Fairbairn Sykes commando knife. Recently I found a custom maker, Peter Parkinson, in New Zealand and he makes these daggers to the original specs but with better material and with great care to fit and finish. I bought myself one and it was worth every cent. It is a Pattern 2 with black nickel-plated brass handle and a nickel-plated SS blade of 7 inches length. He does a masrerful job and will even customize the knife further for you even you want to add your own flavour to this knife. Here is mine second from the right. Scary to think what the knife’s purpose was in those dark days of WWII and even the Korean and Viet Nam conflicts.
Let’s see some of your knives too!
