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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCHRADE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWALDEN\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNY  USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn in the breast pocket of the Paratrooper M2 Jump Jacket these knives were intended for paratroopers to cut there parachute cords and anything else if they got entangled during a jump.
