Pbaczuk Posted March 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2017 I found this today. What is it? It has a crudely black painted hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustin Posted March 18, 2017 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2017 Certainly looks Australian made for sure. Something like this could be procured by any service or service member. I would call it a theater made Australian bowie knife. Do a search on this forum for "Australian Commando Knife" ...the handle similarities are very close, also look around at other topics for Australian knives and you will note they all have that typical crude type fabrication or simplicity.

SKIPH Posted March 18, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 18, 2017 I'm with Dustin. The handle is very much like Australian knives from WW2. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
