Original U.S. WWII style Korean War Airborne Schrade Walden NY M2 Pocket Knife with Bale
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of an early Korean War issue M2 Paratrooper pocket knife, with correct black plastic "jigged bone" handles. These are almost identical to the WWII issue, with the main differences being markings and the more durable plastic grips. These are are difficult to find, however they are a much better value than WWII produced examples.
This very nice used example is in fully functional condition and comes complete with a bale (ring) on the end for a lanyard. This would ensure it wasn't dropped when being used to cut through parachute rigging. Condition is very good, with a nice blade. It does show some use and sharpening, along with the last 1-2mm of the tip being missing, as these were often used in the field. It is marked on the base of the blade with:
