Ummm I have a new knife! A Wilkinson Sword Survival knife in NATO black!!

For the avoidance of doubt, I am not in the market for one of these things. As I said I've always had a soft spot for them but I really can't see me ever using one.

Thanks for the clarification.

Certainly is. But on the plus side, the wife's 1908 cavalry trooper's sword will be going up in value. .

She's older than she looks then?

It isn't just you, I've seen a range like that offered too. I don't remember it being the BCUK shop though, I thought it was Dartmoor Knives.

No idea if BcUK has ever offered them, but here is Dartmoor knife

You are right. They used to be available from the BcUK shop. I believe Tony bought a shed load of them when WS closed down.

I had one of the first run of these in the late 80's, after it was in the Combat and Survival magazine. I bought it from SA in Glasgow. Probably the most 'hell yeah' feeling on leaving a shop with my purchase of my life. Thats how much I wanted that knife.

So much anticipation. So much unjustified It was, frankly, an over-hyped pile of pants.

I spend bloody years trying to get on with that knife, then I cracked and moved it on. Good luck with it, but not for me. In fact, mind bleach please.

Not very useful .... Had one and it was pits... saw the back was good for notching and thats it. blade needed loadsa work before it was any good. way over hyped...and now way over priced...
