Corpl. Cleaver Posted August 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2013 Picked this up today at a shop. Blade is from a M3 but the guy replaced the grips with beautiful shaped stacked leather washers and a huge aluminum pommel. The fit in your hand is perfect and the weight and balance is fantastic. What do you guys think value wise? I may be selling this off to pay the bills some time in the near future. Tyler Close up of grips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damcon3 Posted September 2, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 2, 2013 I could not see any blade marks. It could be an m4 5 6 or 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Trzaska Posted September 4, 2013 Share #10 Posted September 4, 2013 Without markings or the original tang exposed there isn't a way to tell if it is an M3 or M4. They were made on the same machinery to the same spec by the same people, in most cases they are exactly the same blades. All the best Frank Trzaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
