I picked up one of these M-5 leather sheaths the other day. I thought it was a fantasy piece too. It came with a WW2 Case knife. I just wanted the knife. I may put it up on the trade forum. Rick

Nice. In

Really liked the book. Just love knuckle knives. Rick

Crossguard looks like it is thicker in the one the Marine has in his sheath.

I tried to order the back issue of the Knife World article on the Stone Knives. So far no luck the electronic version is not listed in the site. Sent an email to them but didn't hear anything back.

Nice

Never have seen one. I do own a lot of home front made knives. Theater knives too. But there are a lot out there. I will keep a look out for any information.

I have one with a matching swagger stick. Both have the Captains rank and name on them in gold letters. Mine is more of a sword. I also have a few medals his selective service medal and his pistol and rifle qualification medals. I picked them up for 185.00.

Shame the original knife was nice.

That is a nice knife.

I have the same sword. It is a USN version. I did a lot of research on it after I purchased it. Common to have on the ships back then. I have a picture somewhere of a couple of Marines with one.

It doesn't look like a Barteaux to me. Looks more like a newer copy of smaller Murphy Combat Jr and Barteaux. Not an exact copy just similar characteristics. Rick

Looks like one to me.

Nice. Thanks TallyHo for the info about the handle. I always wondered where they got that type of material from.
