Before you buy
- Genuine issue tools often have an NSN, a maker's mark or, on older British kit, the broad arrow government property mark stamped into the metal.
- Hand tools sit in NSN group 51 — 5110 is edged tools (knives, axes) and 5120 is non-edged tools (shovels, entrenching tools).
- Know the law: in the UK it's an offence to carry a bladed article in public without good reason. The exception is a non-locking folding knife with a blade under 3 inches. Buying for bushcraft or collecting is fine, and knives can't be sold to under-18s.
- Before buying an older genuine-issue torch, check it takes batteries you can still buy.
