Old Sarge Posted February 27, 2010 Share #30 Posted February 27, 2010 Gunner, You could also use a repro 1917/1918 knuckle guard to set up one. There are a lot of places to order blades that you could fit to it. Bud K has a better than average 1918Mk1 repro called a "Tomahawk WW1 Black Trench Knife" that could give you a good start. There are a couple of custom knife makers in my area (my Uncle being one) that I have tried to persuade to make knuckle knives, but so far they haven't tried it.

KnifeDog Posted March 15, 2014 Share #31 Posted March 15, 2014 My interest in theater knives, particularly those with knuck (or 'D')guards brought me to this four year old thread. Hope no one cares that I bring it back to life. I fool around with knives some, a favorite it to take M7 bayonet blades, put on a guard, pommel and new leather washer handle to make an M3 variation. I also enjoy taking the blades from Ontario or Case and putting D guards on them. Here are two, made with repro 1917 guards. The original leather handles were scraped, and I put together new ones. Thse two went off to Iraq (gratis, of course) in 2010. As shown, I had a custom sheath maker make a scabbard for one of them. Another one that went off to Afganistan had the blade edge up, as per the soldier's wishes. I've tried a couble of times to use 1918 guards with both M7 and Mk2 blades, but they just don't work. D guard knives are difficult enough to use as a utility knife but those with '18 guards are almost worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsellati Posted March 15, 2014 Share #34 Posted March 15, 2014 Well, now that this thread has been resurrected I figure I will show off two Vietnam War era knuckle knives I have acquired since the thread was first started. This one was made using a Camillus JPK blade. This particular piece came from the Ernie Modlin Collection - And the other sports a Japanese-made blade and a cool spiked brass guard - Hopefully, others will share their recently acquired knuckle knife "eye candy".

bamascvreb Posted March 5 Share #35 Posted March 5 Any idea of who would have carried the Parsons knuckle, how many of them were produced, and what the numbers on the end of the handle denote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
