WW2 US WESTERN FIGHTING KNIFE 8 INCH BLADE
WW2 Western Fighting Knife 8 inch Blade: 8 inch blued blade that shows signs of field sharpening, stacked bakelite and leather washers grip, double peaned tang, blued steel pommel; correct double stitched burgundy leather Western sheath with 9 blued rivets, riveted hilt retaining strap with a blued snap, overall very light wear. Western knives were much better made, cost more, and because of this, the government ordered far less than the larger blade manufacturers like Camillus and Union Cutlery (Kabar). These knives are like a work of art and are very scarce today.
