Hi,
I haven't bought a "Kampfmesser 66" / "KM66" for a long time because the prices for this knife have simply skyrocketed! ...

Last weekend in the morning a KM66 went up for auction which I was able to buy for EUR 262 including shipping (USD 281 / GBP 224).
This is a nice, used "Zwotes Modell" (second version / second model) combat knife and the price was really a bargain!

The dimensions:
Blade length: 148mm
Handle length: 119mm
Total length: 267mm
Blade thickness: 5mm
Blade width: 22.4mm

"Laufende Nummer" / Consecutive number (serial number that ran across all three versions of the KM66): 5833
