Chrome plated Commando fighting knife.

A rare chrome-plated version of the "Commando Inox" combat dagger; according to documentation, this is a very early presentation model, complete with its unmarked brown leather sheath and thigh-securing strap. The blade is in superb condition; the brown leather sheath features a metal tab for attachment to a belt or jump smock and an elastic handle-retention strap. The guard is clearly marked "COMMANDO INOX." The screw at the top of the handle, the guard, and the blade are all chrome-plated. Blade length: 15.9 cm. The ends of the guard were slightly bent by the original owner (see photo). Excellent overall condition; very lightly used. This is the first time we have offered this rare early version for sale—don't miss out!

Sale restricted to adults—your date of birth will be requested at checkout if you did not provide it during registration.
