This original Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knive made by Carl Schlieper (Tjap Mata / Cap Mata), Solingen Germany. Procured by Kopassus during 85/86 timeframe.

My best guess maybe to celebrate the name changes from Kopassandha to Kopassus.

Marked 85/86.01.011 and attributed to Pak Surjardi (from my previous post). The dagger is very rare, especially the first pattern like this one.

Also comes with the beret. Very proud to have this in my collection. Tag: pisau komando kopassus cap mata.
