Andrew, I've been craving a G-knife for some time but too many repros. What is a good one such as this worth these days?

Regards

Andrew - Very nice and in great condition -

Heres the two I have, the one on top is the take-down model which is the early type and comes apart - the bottom one is the type you have it was given to me by a german lady whos old boy friend was in the German Falschirmjager and was in the battle of crete where he also gave her a souvenir hanky from Crete which is also reflected in the picture. The mans initials are on the wood grip which alot of the troopers did, I have his name also.

Shows what I know. I thought all could be taken down.

Live and learn, they say.
