Dagger is SOLD********


This is an extremely rare and long discontinued Ontario SP3, which is their version of the V42 based upon the Fairbairn-Sykes.

Ontario makes these from 1095 high carbon steel with a very resilient blackened finish and a tough rubber grip. Skullcrusher pommel on this model. Original edge was butterknife dull so it has been professionally sharpened. Very pointy! Still not sharp enough for my liking, but that would require a regrind and I don't want to bother with that. Sheath had a dangly loop and a safety strap which were immediately snipped off. Sheath is perfect for IWB carry with the snap acting as a retention stud like on the Bagwell Bowies. This is a very high quality knife you are unlikely to see again. Very limited quantities produced, discontinued 20 years ago.

Asking $70 shipped for this one.

Still available. Shipping to Canada is expensive and I have had issues with Customs before. Gonna say this offer will be CONUS only unless someone is willing to pay extra shipping and assume risk of seizure or loss at Customs. Got screwed on a $150 trade a few years back when I got a letter from Customs instead of my trade, and got screwed on "shipping included" selling to a customer in Malaysia. Might end up keeping this. Makes a great athame.
 
Am interested....is this a full-tang knife? Please let me know via email (KaliSIG@yahoo.com). Thank you.
 
All Spec Plus knives are full tang. You could hammer this through a tree. Only reasons I'm selling this is I need to pay bills and I really have no use for a full sized dagger anymore. Found this in storage.

Adding a HI kukhri...
*edited: this is a Fancy Dhankute distributed by HI*
I don't really know much about khukris, but this seems better quality than the Himalayan Imports and Khukri House ones I've owned in the past. No idea what model this is, but the fullers are very skillfully done, there is detailed designs on the handle and sheath, and the edge is sharp enough to cut paper. The kami who made this was a master.

I am the second owner. There are some minor cosmetic blemishes here and there. Edge looks like it never chopped anything. Impressive display piece that is light in the hand but tough enough to chop down a tree. The little knives fit snugly in place. I think it's about 15" OAL. This is a very good quality khukri.

I am asking only $80 shipped for this. This requires a Medium Priority box which will cost me 15 bucks to ship, and I am willing to eat that cost as well as PayPal fees.
