  • Original Item: One of a Kind. WWII Theater-Made Fighting Knife with Knuckle Guard made from heavy Bronze. The overall length of the knife is 10” with a double edged blade measuring a length of 6”. Handle is made from two black painted wooden panels secured with single slot screws.


    It comes in a nice WWII issue OD green thermoplastic impregnated cotton fabric scabbard marked U.S. M8 / B.M. CO., also in offered in very good condition. This early production scabbard was updated to the M8A1 standard by replacing the canvas frog with one that had a belt loop, as almost all were. The scabbard was manufactured by Beckwith Mfg Co., a division of Victory Plastics, who manufactured many scabbards during the war. The scabbard retains its original elkhide leg tie/thong, as issued, as well as the securing strap, though it is too short to go around the handle.


    A great WWII combat knife that has a nice untouched look. It shows signs of honest use and storage wear, as expected after 80 years. Perfect for a collection of WWII U.S. Edged Weapons, or collector of U.S. Militaria!

    Blade Length: 6"
    Blade Style: Double Edged Dagger
    Overall length: 10“
    Guard: 4" long x 3 1/2" wide
