Interesting Dagger

Here is a unique commando knife that appears to have mixed parentage. The handle is black painted or stained wood in the shape of a pepper grinder. This is usually associated with WW-II Egyptian commandos. What is unusual is the blade is shorter than those knives and very well finished. Perhaps someone bought this knife and reworked it? A standard Fairbairn Sykes sheath accompanies it. As soon as it arrives I will get better photos of it along with my other Egyptian knife. One author has suggested these knives may have been produced in England for Egypt.

The blade is nicely polished and exhibits a long square ricasso. The knife is unmarked and in near mint condition. This is another gem from my friend Roy Shadbolt. http://wilkinsonfscollection.com/wilkinsonfscollection.com/Home.html
