There are not many pictures from New Zealand.
I think this knife was used by NZ

Nice Olof.
That knife KD is hard to find with scabbard matched to the knife. I see them for sales on E bay some times.

Look great orginal. Fine orginal patina too. Nice find.

Yes LH is right. I think the scabbard is more difficult to find than the knife. Unfortunately I cannot own one, knife with knuckle guard is prohibited in where I live.

Cheers,

Are swords also prohibited? This item looks to me like a short sword :D ;)

Olof,

If you think that one looks like a short sword, check out this one from the collection of a friend of mine.

This one with the long blade is a very rare variant. Only ones I have ever previously seen were in an old catalogue when the Amercian collector Adrian Van Dyk sold off his collections back in the late 1970s.
