luke66 Posted April 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2020 Hi, here i post the images of an interesting military knife of Argentina's parachutists, not very diffused for what i know (in europe where i live otherwise). It's a very consistent knife with a wood handle a knuckle guard with a kind of "Art deco" style i find very particular.

Kadet Posted April 13, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2020 In the early 1990s I spent a significant amount of time in Argentina working with the their Navy's "Buzos Tacticos". Basically the Argentinian version of SEALs. At the end of my mission we were hosted at a banquet. The guest of honor was the head of the Argentinian special operations forces. I distinctly remember him wearing a knife like this on his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctorofwar Posted April 13, 2020 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2020 I believe Homer Brett pictures a few variations of these in his book The Military Knife and Bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
