MIKE SILVEY ORIGINAL OWNED THIS PIECE, AND DESCRIBED IT AS FOLLOWS
:
"This post-war third pattern F/S knife was manufactured in Britain by William Rodgers, "I CUT MY WAY" for sale in the Australia - New Zealand area during the early Vietnam War era.  The pommel nut includes a lanyard ring.  The knife is dark from being carried and used.  The blade is etched with a placard but the contents are unreadable.  This is the only one of these I have seen.  This is a desirable and collectible knife of the Vietnam War."
