as above... I've a hankering for a KA-BAR or similar marine / aircrew knife. There's been some talk on here that's got me thinking, and I used to have a 5" ontario pilot knife all through my time as a scout, but stupidly gave it away - regret it now 
anyone got a 7" KA-BAR or similar for trade?

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
got a variety of stuff - first trick is to find the knife for trade! you got one? what you fancy for it?
Pretty sure I have an Ontario pilot's knife somewhere. Interested?
Have no idea what I'd like in trade, all I'm after atm is a black gilet/vest of some sort. Other than that I'll have a think.

I've got an unused Ontario (stacked leather, all black) 'kabar', the problem is there is not much bushcrafty stuff I want anymore unless you can give me some ideas or tempt me with something good.
khimbar and kingpin - can I have pics please? an ontario piot knife might be quite nice as that was the model i had as a scout 
some ideas of what I've dug out do far for potential swaps:
german army poncho (coat / tarp / groundsheet / bivi bag / etc. etc.)
hard anodised aluminium cookset (1-2 person)
WW1 era brass / leather cased small military binos
4 person size stainless MSR pan set (2 pans and a frypan/lid, with trangia style handle)
3 blade locking folder (plain / skinner / saw)
I'm sure there's more... I'll post more when I think of it.

Gah, just checked its Camillus not Ontario. Still want pics?
yes please. maker is less important - so long as it is a genuine military survival knife
either an aircrew knife, as above, or a marine knife, pictured below. Either way I'm after a stacked leather handle version, preferably in original sheath. Tatty condition is not important.
I've emailed you the pics now. Knife is unused as I am a bit of a collector, there are minor 'rubs' not scratches on the blade from the times I have removed it from the sheath to admire over the years other then that it is in the same condition you would buy from the shop. Ontarios are not as refined looking as the kabars but they are tough as old boots and look good for it. Any questions please ask.
