Item Description
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. Theater knives are knives made by military personnel in the various theaters of war. Each knife is unique in its own way due to the maker's style, preferences and materials available. Most theater knives were made from spare parts, wreckage, tools and already existing blades.
These knives were made by the armorers and engineers on request. The larger 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 example has a long thin blade and multi-colored stacked transparent washer grips, with red, white, blue, green, and yellow, ending in an aluminum pommel.
The original sheath is hand-stitched and riveted with an intact securing strap.
A great custom-made fighting knife, ready for further research and display.
