Original U.S. WWII Case "Pig Sticker" Jigged Bone Handle Fighting Knife with Belt Scabbard
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a wonderful example of a hard to find WWII fighting knife in really good condition, complete with its original belt scabbard. This lovely "Pig Sticker" knife was made by Case cutlery, one of many companies making similar knives. During WWII there was a very large demand for fighting knives, particularly in the Pacific theater. Not all soldiers would normally be issued them, so the private market for fighting knives was booming.
This example is fairly typical, with a double edged spear point blade. However, while most had wooden handles, this has a lovely "jigged bone" grip scales, which look to have been custom order. There look to have been several "unknown" patterns of these knives, and like this one, they were only marked CASE on the blade ricasso, which is widened to also be the crossguard. Condition is very good, showing just a bit of bending on the edge, and signs of the blade being cleaned. It comes with a lovely "pancake" style belt sheath, which has a retaining loop at the top.
Overall this is a great chance to own a lovely condition Case "pig sticker" Knife, complete with an original correct scabbard. This would be a fantastic way to fill out a World War II US military knives. Ready to display!
