Description

The listing, WWII Fighting/Trench Knife w/sheath by E G Waterman has ended.

The blade has been sharpened. The edge itself is good, someone ground some of the rest of the blade to get it just the way they wanted it? Excellent leather handle, you feel like you can take on the world with this in your hand, and my hands are big. Unmarked, someone told me it is from WWII? Possibly sold in the PX or to civilians. Top of blade has a "false edge" near tip.

Other features include original sheath, notch in blade that helps deflect an incoming attack(see last picture)above the fingerline, ring on bottom for hanging built in, blood grooves, and the way the hand grip has metal pieces extending a little on each side of your hand makes it so you don't accidentaly push your fingers onto the blade or have the knife pulled out of your hand.

Ships to Continental United States only. thank you

note: this is the LAST TIME I am listing this knife, if it doesn't sell this time I am keeping it myself.

You must be new country the GIN is supposed to be HIGHER than the starting bid.

Just bought one very similar at antique store. Same color and everything

Cool, thanks for that information. I think I've seen some that had a bottle opener shaped blade catch on them that was ground off of this one possibly, and the blade might have been shaped along the bottom as well for some unknown reason? But so far as I know the top bevel is original and the edge as I mentioned came out nice, just part of the ground part looks scratched up. I was thinking some gritty sandpaper might be able to smooth that out but with my shaky hands I wouldn't be able to try it.

Just buy some metal polish it would look brand after a little polishjng. Still considering trying for this. Noticed the price went up

thanks for the advice, I raised the price 5000 credits but I dropped the shipping charge of $7 so it didn't really go up but this is my third time listing this so I don't remember all three prices anymore.

Mar 21st, 2015 at 11:52:43 AM PDT by

No, it is unmarked.
