Original WWII U.S. M-1918 L.F.&C. Knuckle Knife Hilt Fitted with Blade from Case 337-6”Q” Fighting Knife in Sheath
-
Original Item: One Of A Kind: A fantastic example of a custom, one-off, WWII GI Fighting Knife. The Knife was made utilizing the blade of a CASE XX 337-6 “Q” (Quartermaster Knife), and the grip and skull crusher pommel cap from a WWI L.F.&C M-1918 Knuckle Knife. It is apparent this was done since the original blade of the M-1918 was somewhat useless as a tool. It was a phenomenal fighting weapon, but otherwise a poor choice for any utilitarian means.
The right side of the guard has been bent upwards in order to carry the knife sheathed in the original Case 337-6 ”Q” sheath without being too cumbersome. The imprint of the guard of the knife is imprinted in the belt loop portion of the sheath, a tell tale sign that this knife has been undoubtedly paired with the sheath for a very long time! The blade shows signs of expected tarnishing and light corrosion, as expected, while the L.F.&C. Knuckle Duster grip exhibits a beautiful untouched rich mellow patina. The blade and grip do not wobble, and are very tight. Sheath closure strap will works flawlessly.
A beautiful example to add to a collection of WWII Fighting Knives. This is one of the finest examples of a converted knife like this we have ever seen! It is in very honest condition, showing signs of being nearly untouched since WWII.
