This is a very well-crafted repro. I had a (supposedly) MoD issue Pattern 3 from the early ''90s that wasn''t nearly as nicely put together (subsequently stolen).
I love the nickle finish and chequered handle. I can''t compare it to an authentic Pattern 2, but the fit and finish seem superb, and it feels well-balanced and, er, battle ready. I certainly wouldn''t want anyone having a go at me with one.
I may have picked up the last one in stock (?); if so, hope for others'' sakes it reappears.
