NEW

Very Rare WW2 SOE "Tyre Slasher" Knife

This is an example of the WW2 lock knife as issued to the Special Operations Executive, with the tyre slasher blade and metal bolster. Unmarked as issued. The blade has some heavy sharpening. The blades also have some play from side to side, but the spring is strong and it firmly locks. It appears the bexoid grips have shrunk slightly over the years allowing the blades a little movement. Everything is clean and tidy and is as it should be with no alterations or repairs. Steel lanyard ring.

A rare knife in any condition.
