Where the path takes me
Afternoon folks.

I'm after Royal Navy deck knives please. Like the ones in the picture (not the wooden handled versions).

They can be with or without sheath. I very much doubt there are mint condition ones out there so used is good but with no damage to blade or handle please. Chipped blades are a hassle and chunks out of the Bakelite handle cannot be repaired
;)
;)


Thanks in anticipation.

I’ve been out of the navy for 13 years but never saw anything like these knifes on issue or in fact allowed. The mix would be an MOD survival knife, mainly for the looks, and the seaman’s knife and riggers knife here;


coupled with sidecutters, a spike and a small spike mostly used for shooting a can of beer. All carried in individual sheaths or one made by “the buffers party or tame “Spec” on board of leather. There was another knife I occasionally saw like the green river knife in shape but nothing like those in your pic.

Cheers for the input Scoman. They are WW2/1950's issue. Listed here - p. 83, British & Commonwealth Military Knives by Ron Flook (accepted as the definitive book on issued military knives of that period).
