Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Fitted with a single-edged spear-point blade, this is an original fighting knife, as used by the Germans in WWI and then again in WWII. In nice used condition, this knife has a ribbed wooden grip secured by two rivets. Grip scales are in good condition, with no cracks or major chips, and a nice color. As with most of the examples we have seen with grooved grips, the knife has an "S" shaped cross guard, while most smooth grip versions have a minimal cross guard.
The blade is full length on the bottom of the blade, while the top has a false edge. The blade has been used extensively, so the edge is not entirely straight, and is definitely in need of sharpening. But it's got that look of a well-worn blade that you only see from years of service use. Overall length is 10 inches with a 5 1/2 inch blade. No markings are present on the ricasso or crossguard, which is standard.
The knife comes in an genuine rolled steel WWII steel scabbard with a spring steel "boot" clip on the back, which would allow attachment to the the side of a boot or to a belt. This style of attachment held by pressure, and could also be mounted on other parts of the uniform. The finish on the scabbard is good, but worn on the outer side, while the inner belt loop side still has some of the original enamel.
No visible markings but 100% original, a very example for display in any quality German edged weapons collection.
