I have a Theater Made Knife, I know what the handle is made from (plexiglass from airplane cockpit) but I dont know what the blade could be from. There are no markings or stamps on the blade. Can someone help???

Many of these knives were made from scrap metal that was available. Hard to determine exactly what or where the metal came from unless the veteran related the story.

 

Often knives could be made from old files or saw blades as well.There was a local man who produced knives during the war from files and they had cast aluminum grips.Some were marketed and sold through a area sporting goods store.

The person who sold it to me only said that it was plexiglass from a downed aircraft, not being specific in the type of aircraft.
