a Type 100 Japanese paratrooper bayonet. I've always liked this.

I can see why it would be a favorite. Not only for the sentimental value but it is in great shape!

Here are two of my favourite knives. My Pal 36 fighting knife and ( cheating a little ) a bayonet conversion . The pal 36 because it was one of my first and got it in the good old days when eBay uk would let you buy them. Alas our knife laws are very strict!

The second is because it is unique and I love the handle conversion on it. ( Excuse the bad photo taking!)

thanks, here's another one I just picked up, a bit worn , but wanted one for ages: the 16" version dated and the cut down next to it, again not knives per say but American through and through !

I know this is a modern repro , but love it all the same. A copy of an old d guard knife, ( don't think I could ever afford an original knife) but its a beast!

New favorite old knife to me. I just aquired this one, an original Remington bullet knife. It is model 1253, a lockback that was reputed to be Al Capone's favorite. It is near mint in condition.
