Hello, Andy,
From the www. I have translated excerpts of this text from a Polish site and have already brought it to your attention in the German forum:
Assault knife wz. 98
1
Description:
Assault knife wz. 98Z is a further development and improvement of the previously used solutions of the
knife wz. 98
The change that has taken place compared to the original concerns the equipment of the blade.
This resulted from the experience reports and hints of its users.
The purpose of this mod was to increase it
Versatility that adds sawing capability to existing cutting capabilities.
Assault knife wz. 98 - Pattern used in the Polish Army since the late 90s
Further development of the cult knife wz. 92
The wz98 knives were originally produced by Gerlach.
Then it was taken over by SANITAS s.c. Manufactured and since 2009 with the company Militaria Łódź, which agreed the production with GERLACH S.A. to continue.
At the same time, the knife's dismountable construction, as used in previous designs, allows for the regeneration and replacement of worn and damaged parts.
On the basis of the knife 98 "nz" for reconnaissance and special forces, a model called 98 "z" was produced.
It is clearly expressed here that knives of this model could be ordered in different versions from the respective manufacturer due to the respective requirements, and that a model with the designation "Pattern 98 z" was produced for reconnaissance and special units.
I also showed you excerpts from the book for import by the company MIL-TEC in the German forum.
These pieces cannot be compared to the ones shown in this thread anyway because of the lower quality.
Best regards,
R.
