This is a beautiful WWII theater-made fighting knife, crafted during World War II by or for a serviceman—likely aboard ship or in a field workshop. These unique, non-issue knives were made using available materials and personal craftsmanship.

• Blade: Polished carbon steel with a sharpened edge and classic spear-point profile

• Handle: Finely shaped and polished hardwood scales, pinned through tang

• Guard: Custom brass crossguard, handmade

• Sheath: Custom-fit hand-tooled leather sheath, stitched with what appears to be sinew or cordage, with a retaining strap and green patina on the snap

• Estimated overall length: Approx. 9–10 inches

• Blade length: Approx. 5 inches

This knife reflects the kind of ingenuity and skill that defined many Pacific Theater and naval-made blades during WWII. The handle is especially well-finished—smooth and ergonomic with rich wood grain. The sheath is in good condition with visible aging and character.

A superb piece of wartime craftsmanship, perfect for any WWII collection, knife enthusiast, or historical display.
