a little riddle !

[AmericanKraut]

So what happens if/when you miss.............?

Well I am guessing if your throwing the knife, your gun is empty or gone, so the best thing to do is run or make friends? lol

Or you're dead meat - One of the worst things you can do
is throw away a last possible means of defense.........

Just got third one, not serialized, first prototype, the original owner is a well known person among the parachootist
So, to make it short, they received the first batch of these daggers as a trial, before issuing them officially.
There are also some later/commercial used knives on the market as well, they dont have the MN, and para sign on the grip.
See also othe post 1945 hungarian paratrooper knives on the photo as well.
