LW bush knife

[alex gross]

Hi all!
I’ve been collecting items from the 3rd reich for quite a many years, but I’ve never come across a bush knife in Air Force desert survival equipment.
Can someone show me an original piece with a detailed photos?


Thank you!

Has no one ever seen such a closer look?
Maybe wearing photos?

New one for me .... never seen one before ( nor a feldflasche with 'Benzin' stenciled on it )

I had a Benzin flask for a short while, years ago, but there wasn’t much left of the paintwork.
I passed it on in the hopes of finding a better example..

You know the rest!

As for the knife, a scarce item at the time, now very rare. I imagine most ended their days cutting cabbages and turnips.

Me too but I have seen the benzin bottle before albeit only in photographs. I don't think it actually is a Feldflasche but is a seperately manufactured item almost identical in appearance and did have a small wire carry handle with a wooden grip. I imagine the benzin would be intended for fire lighting?

Now I need to find the pictures again don't I?
