C.I.A KNIFES?

[knifedvictim]

I was wondering if anyone out there had any info on old C.I.A knifes and where to purchase them i.e "websites or catologs". The knife is around 6-7 inches in length and the blades shape is of a 3d triangle..so the knife would apear to have 3 blades. The blade is around 4 inches long. This knife is contained in a leather boost starp or wrist strap holster.

if you have any ifo plz contact me at

I have read several articles about espionage knives (both British and American) in the magazine KnifeWorld. Such items are highly collectable. The only source I can think of right now would be Northwest knives: http://www.nwknives.com/

Look in their military knives section.

You may wish to also ask this question in the Bernard Levine Knife Collecting forum for more expert advice.

Good luck!

Although this is not the best forum for your question I will try and give you some info before its locked and moved.
The last 3 or 4 issues of KnifeWorld has had a series going all about clandestine knives of WW II. As far as purchasing Pat Crawford used to make (still does?) a sleeve dart similiar to the OSS model. Numerous cheapie knife catalogs like Bud K and TheEdge Co have POS versions of what they thing are spy knives. Check E-Bay under Military Collectibles they pass through from time to time. Above all else do your homework because there are a lot of fakes going round. There are books such as Coles that can give you good info.Good luck

I would be carful in this area and try to dig up as much documentation as I can find.
I think some reasearch could help in builing a very interesting collection.

The closest thing I have is an old A.G.R. CIA letter opener

We will get a better response in General so off it goes. I just hope they take it easy on us.
