blimey ! you wouldn't expect that to happen !

 

[sargey]

except that that is not a british army machete! it's a sort of miniature copy. a not very good miniature by the looks of it.

cheers, and.

That's one of those cheap Chinese copies often sold as the real deal, so Yeah, it's what you'd expect

Who was it made by?

Hahahah is there two knives in there?

There are more MOD machete knockoffs doing the rounds than the real thing. Failure in those is quite common. With the issue version, failure is unheard of, and for good reason. The MOD does not like being sued, and their suppliers don't wish to loose such a lucrative contract because of said actions.

Where can you buy the MOD one's? I fancy one but couldnt spot a copy.

I whipped off the finger guard and popped on some dessert ironwood slabs, nowt too fancy as it regularly gets brayed with a big stick ...

Exactly the same as the first post, must have been a crappy batch.

 

[Retired Member southey]

it definatly doesnt look like a mod issue knife matey, the profile is all wrong,

 

[luckylee]

i recently done a sheath for a mod survival knife, and there is no way that would happen with the real mccoy, you could drive a tank over one of those, it was bomb proof.

 

[Retired Member southey]

here is a current issue golok, note difference in the grind, the NATO stock number and the handle quality,

though if you want real quality look for the earlier Elwell model

Another knife I'm sad to have sold

Where can you buy the real deal MOD one's from?
