WW2 RAF Folding Knife

Code: 11361

Website: https://www.militariazone.com/knives/ww2-raf-folding-knife/itm33388

A scarce example of the RAF folding knife, as issued with the Beadon, or lightweight flying suit.

RAF Stores code 22P/11.

It measures 4.75 inches when closed. 4 inch main blade, and 3.75 inch square spike. Original blued finish all over. Strong springs and lock up. Small nick towards the tip of the main blade. Completely unmarked.

I have heard various stories of these being included in Red Cross Parcels to POW's, and dropped to the Resistance. There is a not unconvincing argument that the blunt edged spike blade is well suited for making timer shaped holes in PE charges.

Either way, this is a hard to find example of a simple, yet effective folding knife. 

Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched.
