Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful U.S. WWII "Theater Made" fighting knife with a double-edge blued blade. These knives were made by the armorers and engineers, usually in the Pacific theater. The large capital ships needed to have skilled fabricators on board to make repairs and modifications to weapons and gear.

Usually the blades were made from existing weapons or from steel components, and the hilts were cast from metals such as aluminum or zinc. This knife however, was made from what appears to have been a handmade blade which was then blued.

The handle of this knife is made from aluminum casted directly on the tang. Both the pommel and crossguard are made from scrap pieces of brass. Condition is quite good, though the blade definitely suffered minor corrosion at some point, which was then cleaned away, probably before it was made into a custom knife.

The original leather scabbard appears to be a period made for the knife. It is in lovely condition and still rather serviceable.

Definitely an interesting piece of WWII Militaria. Ready to research and display!

Blade length: 5 ⅝”
Blade style: Double Edged Spear Point
