Original U.S. WWII Theatre Made Custom Knuckle Knife with Scabbard named to BAKER
-
Original Item: One-of-a-kind. This is a custom theater made knuckle knife that is named BAKER on the cast grip. 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.
The hilt, grip and knuckle bow cast metal, while the clip-point "Bowie" style blade is made of steel. The blade measures 8 7/8" by 1 7/8" wide at its widest point, and the knife measures 13 3/4" inches overall. The knife comes complete with leather sheath, which has a belt loop and is very reminiscent of the "Collins" style of scabbard.
