Just pix of knives

The "Broad Arrow" stamp on the tang indicates it was a military issue knife. Pretty standard Navy issue with the marlin spike, can opener, clipped pointed blade and the screw driver. Yours looks to be in great shape. Later these type knives for Both the British Army and Navy were made of stainless steel. John

Thank you for sharing this info. Mine is in excellent shape because it has been oiled, lightly harpened once or twice and shown off over the years but I’ve never carried it. I know about the broad arrow from studying wrist watch history. Can’t believe I didn’t recognize it on the blade tang stamp on mine. I just found this interesting link about these British military knives: https://threepointsofthecompass.com...ast-from-my-dads-past-his-british-army-knife/

I visited Armes Bastille in Paris and I got to check out three Microtech knives and a Frank Beltrame stiletto. I would have loved to look at more but I didn't want to cause a disturbance in the shop. It was a dream come true for me as I live in the UK and this was the first time I was handling and deploying an automatic knife. From my excitement I forgot to take a photo with the Hera II.
