    I am incredibly excited to have this Spartan Blades Raider Dagger -- a modern interpretation from one of my favorite makers, Les George, of one of my favorite knives from history, the Marine Raider Dagger, made by one of my favorite companies, Spartan Blades. In my opinion, every household should have a dagger and if you only ever have one dagger, make it this one.

    1942 Marine Dagger
    This fighting knife was designed, with close combat in mind, by Lt. Col. Clifford H. Shuey, who formed the then-new Engineer Division at H.Q. U.S. Marine Corps. The year was 1942.
    The knife was inspired by and based on the most-famous Allied fighting knife of World War II - the early version of the Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife of the Royal Marine Commandos; this knife was also called the British Commando Knife.

    Nice daggers Bob. If you don't already have them, you need to add the Ka-Bar EK model 4 commando (the General Patton blade,) and the cold steel drop forged wasp daggers to your collection. Both are awesome 👍

  • @jvf4608
    @jvf4608 Před rokem +1

    They all look awesome. I agree about the dagger in a house. I keep an old (about 30 years old) dive dagger somewhere, just in case... I've double edged the tip of the 4.5 inch drop point blade, partially serrated on one side as many dive knifes. The blade has the same shape as the rambo knife, the movies where really popular when it was bought to me, with smaller serrations.
    I should order some custom sheath, the original one is made to be carried on the leg, hard plastic with silicone straps, as long as the whole dagger. Not suitable for a standard belt carry.
    The gard makes me confident if i have to use it on defense purpose. As the pommel that can be used to hit hard.

    When I saw that on your live, I thought it was the Acta Non Verba 'Anthropoid'.
    The Marine Raider Colonel was Evans Carlson. He was rather disliked by USMC leadership for his 'Asiatic' tendencies, even to the point of being accused of being Communist early in WW2. If he had, in fact, gone 'Asiatic', the Fairbairn Sykes dagger would have made sense, since both Sykes and Fairbairn were involved with the Shanghai Police during the same time frame as a Carlson served as a USMC Officer with tours in China several times in the 20s and 30s.
