Wanted British army 2.75 ''Non locking'' Knife

[Forest fella]

Hi, I'm looking for a Great condition Sheffield / broad arrow stamp made 2.75 non-locking Army issue jack knife with stainless steel handle as I've somehow lost mine.
Not the Marlin Spike version
Cheers

I went to 2 Army / Navy surplus stores yesterday and I still wasn't able to find one of these knives unless they weren't on show and had to give a wink to the staff.
In fact it was hard enough to locate the stores within 10 miles of my house, there used to be more than a hand full locally I guess the internet shops have taken there place on the high street.
Anyone finds 1 give me a shout please.
Cheers

Agreed, I prefer non locking due to our ridiculous laws and the new ones aren't cheap. I have a 1952 article which travelled all over the world with me, sorry but I'll never sell that. Also, thanks to eBay's rules, finding knives, etc. second hand is not easy. I do have a 2008 Navy issue that I'd consider selling to an affectionado without spike but it is a locker.

W.A.P Army Combat Camo on FB have advertised them this week at £20. No connection other than having bought off them by mail in the past, good lads IMO.

Arrived earlier it's in Great condition just needs a sharpen like you mentioned.
It's having a soak then I'll take it to the stones.
I'll give this one a good use just to see if buying the Original version would be a worth it as I'm not sure how I'm going to get on with the handle.
Once again cheers and if I can help you in the future please ask.

Glad it's arrived, yeah, I didn't carry mine because of the protruding can opener when using the blade. I did wonder about modifying it so it's just the blade, but I seemed on casing a Vic Farmer or an SI which are more comfy in the hand.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it
