Original Item: One-of-a-kind. As seen in the fantastic book Knuckle Knives of the Second World War by Greg Aloisio on page 303, this knife is a custom made cast fighting knife with leather sheath. The author used this knife and a specimen for his wonderful book and even signed page 303 where this knife is featured. The signed copy of the book accompanies the purchase of this knife.

The knife features a double side blade, sturdy but crude construction and heavy cast knuckle grip. It has custom made wartime leather scabbard with belt hanger. The knife measures approximately 12 inches in overall length with a 7 inch blade. It is offered in good condition with fantastic provenance.

Overall a very interesting custom WW2 trench knife featured in the definitive book on the subject, you can't ask for more than that!
