Vintage Parachute release knife. (43732)

A vintage wooden handled steel knife with a rounded tip and curves inwards towards the blade to reduce the chance of the parachutist accidentally wounding themselves. I cannot see any identification marks to the steel that does have some rust spots due to being stored in the leather sheath that would have attached to the airforce belts. Nice wooden handle with copper rivets through the scales. The steel edge is very sharp. Full length of knife measures 11.1/4” , there’s some numbers and faint letters on the sheath that I can’t read, other than “real hide”. A nice military historic knife for the aircrews.

Price is inclusive of postage to mainland U.K.
