WW2 KNIVES & RELICS

[Rockingkj]

My bit of a gathering , Fairbairn Sykes a 2 model on far left, 3rd models. Western L 76 than Western L 77’s and far right Ariel Dagger. The L 76 is a tough knife to find.

I have never seen an L76 or that Aerial dagger before.
Thanks for taking the time to share your awesome collection

Thanks. I’m just a temporary custodian, like all of us are. We can hope the next caretaker appreciates them too.

Beautiful blades!!!
How do they feel in hand with those handle contours?

[New_Windsor_NY]

Beautiful.....

Thank you, Brandon.
They are VERY comfortable to grip and hold.
At least to me they are.

You guys are taunting me to play along.

WW2 PAL-RH36

This is a variation of the bright bade one I showed earlier. This one has a swedged blade w/ original parkarized finish; red and black spacers, and has a slightly longer handle than the bright bladed knife.

The original sheath is toast so I made a new sheath for it. I usually carry it when I’m walking around my neighborhood or in the woods.

Just picked up this PAL 36. One can only wonder about its history and what its story has been over the years....

Lot of dandy knives being posted! Hope to see lots more.

Great knives, gentlemen!
And a fitting tribute to the men of America's greatest generation!

Nichols knife, made by Floyd Nichols of David City IMG_5323.jpegIMG_5326.jpegNE to support the war effort. It was said he made one for every Service man in Polk County Ne.

Super Rare Knife!

Nice to see it.

My favorite ww2 knife. Hopefully it will soon have an original type handle to replace my fabricated one.

It’s D-Day + 80 years. What knives or relics from the war are your favorite?

Fantastic topic for a thread !


and a grand turn out by the membership, too. Sadly I don't think I have anything to contribute .....

Here I thought Herb had most of the 10th Mountain Division Ulsters. Awesome group, Dimitri.

Mornin' guys and sorry to be late to the party. Here are a couple of mine. First is a un-cut AFH Bayonet dated 1943. I still have the original brown plastic handles and I believe this is an uncommon one.
Second is a USMC Bolo, Chatillon, NY with original sheath. I bought this one from the Abilene Army-Navy Store when I was about 10 or 11 years old. The man who owned the store was a man by the name of Leonard. I'm 83 years old now so that was over 70 years ago.

I only have a few of these, but the "type 1" model with the phillips screwdriver bit attached to the bail is my favorite. Apparently the bit is quite prone to coming detached with any real use.

I think that bayonet attached to a Garand would scare just about anyone.

Did you ever use that bolo when you were a kid?
