GIl Sanow Posted February 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2009 And why exactly was this posted on a US military collector's site? It certainly is not military and I doubt it is US! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrapneldude Posted February 10, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2009 Almost looks like a Ka-Bar type blade that a sailor / Marine had fashioned into a different handle? Pretty cool if that's what it is! Is it against the rules to post theater-made and / or "homemade" US military items on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigredone Posted February 10, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 10, 2009 Some craftmen will carve something in wax and use it as a mold for something in bronze or pewter. Could this have been made by a shipboard or foreign craftsman for a US soldier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebladeslinger Posted February 10, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2009 And why exactly was this posted on a US military collector's site? It certainly is not military and I doubt it is US! G WHAT!!?? I think you need to do a little fact checking. Stone knuckle knives are pretty well known and very sought after. The knife in question is one of the nicest knives I've seen posted on this forum and is a lot more relevant than many of the unmarked unknown homemade knives that people post here.

thebladeslinger Posted February 10, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 10, 2009 Here is a link http://ewstoneknife.com/ In addition to a wonderful collection of knuckle knives at this site you can also see Mr. Stone's personal knife made during WWII and ones he made later for his son to carry during Vietnam.

SteveR Posted February 11, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 11, 2009 Fooled me too Bubba. I have never seen this type knife before. I would have thought it was some cheap piece made today as a fantasy blade. Oh well this old dog learned something new today. Great blade and I really enjoyed the info on the Stone site. Thanks for posting. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now we know where the Chinese got the idea for their cheap crap! It got me as well. Anyone got a picture of them actually being used?

nuke41 Posted February 11, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 11, 2009 Anyone got a picture of them actually being used? I'm not aware of any pictures of these being used in combat, but they are well documented. Tony, Thanks for sharing with the world, its found a fine home with a world class collector!

Enjoy it! Up until a few minutes ago, reading this thread, I would not have given this knife a second look. Now I know better. Much to learn have I. Thanx for posting.
