UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Miscellaneous Dagger Forum Luftwaffe Machete

I recall a discussion of these back years ago at the MAX. No one knew where the "Luftwaffe Survival Machete" designation came from. One dealer said that if it truly was Luftwaffe issued, it should be waffenamt marked. At that time, no Luft marked pieces were known, and no documentation or purchase orders for the Luftwaffe had been found. Because it was not listed in any of the existing Alcoso catalogs, most felt that it was the same as the private purchase fighting knives and other utility knives produced by the firm, and not an official pattern.
