British RAF and Special Forces Survival Knife with Leather Sheath
£229.00
The type D Survial Knife was introduced into service in the early 1950's. The knives were made by a number of manufacturers and issued to all branches of the British Military. The blades of the knives were marked with designations to identify which service they were issued to. Codes beginning 27C were issued to the RAF (See pages 101 & 102 of Flook's book "British and Commonwealth Foghting Knives"). See more below.
