No6, who is the "George" who made the knife in your first photo? Thanks, John

"George" is Les George.

How about damascus with a damascus handle(and guard)?

Knife by Rob Patton.

I wasn't a fan of the pattern until I saw this thread. The Patton piece is outstanding.

I like the Dwyer version. Pure combat.
Thanks for all the pix.

Dubbed in another language - english subs - this is the only known footage of Mr. Fairbairn himself...

Email from Hill today saying that they will be producing some Belgium Para and SAS marked daggers and will have some for sale available for order now. Profile appears to be the same for each and identical to the picture I posted above.

Like all of them, but as a favorite, to me the Hill feels the best in hand with the George a close second. Fit and finish wise, reverse the two.
