Hi Guys
I'm from Australia and I collect Australian military knives.
This covers knives made in Australia for the military and knives made elsewhere that have been issued to or found their way in to the possession of Australian service personell.
I started out collecting clasp knives and have since expanded to include other military bladeware. I don't collect bayonets. I have enough trouble trying to afford the knives I like to add to my collection
Because there was not a lot of reference material around on Australian military knives I have put together a simple web page to act as a basic reference for collectors with a similar interest. Unfortunately, not all of the knives featured are mine. I have relied heavily on other collectors for their assistance. The web page is at http://www.australianmilitaryknives.com
Always looking to learn more about the bladeware used by our Military personell.
