I got this knife in a batch of knives I picked up a while back. The only marking I can find on it is the Paratrooper emblem on the blade. It is 4 7/8th inches long and fires hard, locks up tight. I believe the handles are anodized aluminum and there is an abrasive insert laid into the handle.
Seen this knife before?
Thanks in advance,
Ray

That's Dalton's marking.

If Bill says it's a Dalton Ray, then it's a decent knife, definitely NOT Chinese! EDIT: After a bit more scrutiny I found some pics of genuine Dalton knives, one of them being his Paratrooper model, and although the knife and the marking on the knife is VERY similar, they have an outline or border around the open parachute which your knife doesn't have, so you may want to consider this.

Daltons mark is a parachute, I don't think that's it. Dalton forums has a comprehensive picture reference. Mark Ks picture guide, on home page of Dalton forums or Google it, quite lengthy. Taz
