This is a very nice example of the rarely seen Austo-Hungarian WWI Fighting Knife, complete with its original scabbard and leather belt loop. These fighting knives were issued to troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who fought alongside Germany during WWI. After WWI many were re-used by Italian troops through to the end of WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife is 13¼ inches overall, with a 8½ inch spear-point blade, which has a full-length bottom edge, with a 3 inch false edge on the top. There is a maker mark \u003cstrong\u003eW \u003c\/strong\u003eengraved on the ricasso, but we do not know which maker this indicates. Offered in very good used condition, the knife shows some wear and oxidation, but also a lot of the original factory grinding marks. It also has the classic Austro-Hungarian wood grip panels secured by three pins, which have a lovely color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife comes in a genuine rolled steel WWI scabbard with leather belt loop on the rear. Originally painted gray, the scabbard still has about 60% of the paint retained, with areas of light oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very good example for display in any quality Great War edged weapon collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 8 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003eBlade Style: Single Edged Spear Point Knife with Upper False Edge\u003cbr\u003eOverall length: 13¼“\u003cbr\u003eScabbard Length: 9 1\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42188684722245,"sku":"ONJR24NM043","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR24NM043__01.jpg?v=1737783280","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-wwi-austro-hungarian-fighting-knife-with-steel-scabbard-belt-loop","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
