Did that Model 2 impress you as having more than a passing resemblance to the iron-bladed dagger found in King Tut's tomb?
Randall meant it as a beefed-up form of the Fairbairn dagger, but the basic design is far older.
Mind you, I'm speaking of the iron dagger, not the gold one, which doesn't have that stepped down blade shape.
