ADDITIONAL INFO:             The all steel construction of this Engineers Knife tells me was likely made after 1942 when the US began rationing materials like brass and nickel silver so that they could be used elsewhere in the war effort. Everything on this knife; blades, shield, bolsters, springs, bail and pins are made from steel. This is easily verified by the use of a magnet. I see no chips or cracks on the Roger’s bone handles, the rear handle is a couple shades lighter than the mark side handle, and this is typical of the knives from the early part of World War II. They were making knives for the war effort, not thinking about what would look best to future generations of collectors. This is a nice affordable piece for someone’s collection. It will make a nice representation of the Engineers Knife until one can find a better example and upgrade their collection.
