Nichols knife, made by Floyd Nichols of David City

Re: WW2 KNIVES & RELICS
Probably my favorite fixed blade knife pattern of the war:
PAL RH-36
Original sheath & original playing cards for when there’s a lull in the action.

I gave this one to my son on his 8th birthday. He uses it whenever there’s a stick that needs whittlin’, or a sausage that needs slicing:

Impressive! You are so right about that Western, RockingkJ!
And the KA-BAR is great. I had a Friend who had a steamer trunk full of them, all surplus. I did not have a chance at them.
