U.S. WWII theatre knife
length: 9"
A good example of the WWII era American G.I.'s artistic equivalent to the
trench knives of WWI, but without all of the icky sitting about in muddy
pits. A near-universal product of soldiers and sailors with time on their
hands and access to a metal shop, this particular theatre knife has a
stacked aluminum and plastic handle as well as an unusual curved blade with
a sharpened 2" false edge.
blade: 4 1/4"
blade width: 1 1/4" maximum
grip: 4 1/2"
weight: 5 oz
