All About Pocket Knives

Hello all. has anyone got or ever come across one these. as i cannot find a single pic on the net.i can find lots of pics of the version of this knife with the tyre slasher but not the single blade knife.

I’ve seen that pattern with the same handle covers for sale on eBay a few times. As I recall they are stamped “England” or “Sheffield”. Does yours not have a tang stamp?

Premier Cutlery offered a similar single-blade gunstock Jack with bone covers. The Premier versions I have are stamped “Germany”. I carry one daily. Here’s a couple I have.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I just have to compliment these Premiers.
I love this pattern even though I've never held one.

I believe this knife is still in production. I bought one by J. Nowill & Sons within the last five years. As I recall it was around $20.

j .nowill do still make a variant of the ww2 commando knife which has no bail.if you are talking about the soe knife ie the one with the metal bolster it would be interesting to see a pic of it as ive never seen a pic or ever known anyone to have one.even the imperial war museum in london does not have pic of one on there website but they have a pic of the soe knife with the trye slasher on there website.maybe the imperial war museum is my next port of call for info.thanks for your input nif6969
