Here we have a wonderful example of a hard to find WWII fighting knife in really good, service used 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have seen some examples with single edged spear point blades, as well as some with jigged bone handles, but only one with the bowie blade, which was not chrome plated. This example is a double-edged spear point with wood handles, not the often encountered jigged bone style. There look to have been several \"unknown\" patterns of these knives, and like this one, they were only marked \u003cstrong\u003eCASE\u003c\/strong\u003e on the blade ricasso, which is widened to also be the crossguard. Condition is good with just a few minor issues such as staining on the blade, nicks in the edge and open grain wood grip scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall this is a great chance to own wonderful are variant of the Case \"pig sticker\" Knife, complete with an original correct scabbard. This would be a fantastic way to fill out World War II US military knives.
