All About Pocket Knives

You might try a Google or ebay search. There aren't too many real military issue folding knives these days, let alone ones that are sold as surplus. If you're looking for inexpensive knives, take note that most military knives are sought by collectors, and the prices can be more than a comparable commercial knife will cost you (if you're looking for users) Pretty much the same story for recent models of bayonets. I see on google that there are a half dozen or so surplus stores near Austin, you could probably call them and find out what they carry.

All the good "old" stuff is gone from the "surplus" stores.

Strand Surplus in Galveston occasionally has something of interest but not often.

Thanks

Ebay literally has listings for thousands of military knives at any given time. I gather you want what are known as "issued" knives. There are other sites that have both auction listings for issued knives, as well as sites that just list some that are set at static prices. You just have to look around. By commercial knives, I didn't mean Chinese junk knives...just well made knives designed for outdoor use. What type or model of knives or bayonets are you looking for? Are they just to collect or use? If to use, what will you need to use them for? I could probably give you more specific sites to check out or search terms to help out if I knew what it was you were looking for.

By the way, I collect military knives and have hundreds of them...only 1 came from a surplus store.
