Sons of Anarchy - Jax Teller knife

I have been searching for last 3 days, which model of knife Jax is carrying in SOA. Everything I found was referring to Ka-Bar USMC fighting knife.
I know it is a serrated blade version, but what about the length ? full or short one ?
When I saw that the "full" length version was 11-7/8", that looked like way too much.

So, I found the right episode where you see the blade well ( Season 4 Ep 14, in the hospital), and based on pix I found in online store did the following image match :

So definitley the right one is Ka-Bar 1261. Not.
I discovered afterwards that 1261 is the same as 1252 but 1261 has the USA stamp.
In the same episode we can see :

So definitely the 1252 = short serrated + USMC stamp :

Hope this helps somebody else!

@Goerdie7 :
I don't know in which part of the world you are in...
For the right knife, I found this seller on ebay :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-KABAR-1...570?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item1e767b0cca
or in US :

I can advise you also a cheap set of rings from jax :

Quite smaller than I expected, so probably not fully Screen Accurate, but they are cheap so...
If you want I could post a picture with those on my hands if that can help :

@Magnum1911 : Glad it helped !

Thanks jpro I'm from Ireland and I'm going to order the knife straight away.i have the rings already but if you have anything else it be great . Do you know where I can get jax teller 1:6 scale action figure ?
 
Try this search on ebay, since you are in UK, you should find a good deal with cheap Postage :

Also if you want to go to the next step, you could look for the "Cut", ie. vest of Jax & friends.
The original one is coming from Lil' Joe :
http://blackmagicapparel.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/Sons-of-anarchy-vest.html

Quite expensive and they never ever replied to my inquiries by mail or phone. To add to this, you can find mixed review on their vest ( some excellent, some average).
I got mine from FoxLeather Creek. They do two types : one is screen accurate :

But they are stopping its production so they are on Sale and all size not available :(

The other one is as good, and I personaly think even better, as it has a zipper. But less Screen Accurate because of this... :
https://www.foxcreekleather.com/products/1436-zippered-rebel-vest

I exchanged with the staff from Leathercreek, and got one those. It is beautiful and fits me extremely well !

On a final thought, unless you intend to cosplay, or use it in private only, I would strongly advise to apply SOA patches you can find on ebay or other places.
Earning a patch is something real in bikers community, and as such they don't like to see wannabes wearing colors they don't deserve...

Hope this can help !
Cheers
 
Hi jpro thanks man you've been a great help I'm ordering that knife on eBay hopefully they ship to Ireland .. Ya I know how bikers are about they cuts I'm only getting it for display really . Do you mind sending me on a picture of your vest. Do you know did any stuff actually used in the show vests bikes etc go on auction ?
 
Interesting! Do you think they would use 2 different knives?
Because looking at the first picture i posted, you can see that the proportions of 1261/1252 match exactly : the handle is what gives the proportion. Both 1252 and 1219 have been sized so that handle is the same as the one Jax is holding. You can see quite a difference in length. Also looking at the serration spacing they match also on 1252.
I might be wrong if there is a perspective aspect in the picture, so I will have to look for other scenes to study this. Anyone has an idea of which episodes would be good for that?

Jpro- Hello. Sorry for such a delay! I keep meaning to respond. No, I think it's always the same knife, the full size. I don't think the short size was ever used. I think it is a perspective aspect in the pictures, as you never know how the picture is zoomed when it was originally taken. Looking at the picture where the knife is at Clay's throat, the 1252 blade would come just to the side of his face and be much thinner (from blade edge to spine) than the picture, as the blade in the picture is about an inch and a half past (longer than) his face. 1252 is very small... much smaller in "real life" than it looks in pictures. I took a screen capture of someone's youtube video to try and show the size of the 1252 . See how small the handle is? In your picture of Jax holding the knife, you can see how full the handle is and comes past his hand on the Pommel side. Thanks!
