jeed Posted December 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2012 Is there anything about this knife that's "original"? Unless I'm confused, it's a post Vietnam blade. I don't know enough about the 1918's to tell if it's original but I have my doubts about it as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121039974697?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbertson Posted December 23, 2012 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2012 The blade is post 2/74, if I'm not mistaken off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsellati Posted December 23, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 23, 2012 I was looking at this one myself, though not for purchase at that starting price. It is a conversation piece though. As others pointed out the blade is of post-2/74 manufacture, indicated by the lack of the "N.Y." marking. I am a little unsure of whether the M1918 knuckle knife grip is original or a reproduction. Either way, it is heavily modified though I must say, very professionally mated to the Camillus blade. I'd spend $30 to $50 for its novelty.

elbertson Posted December 23, 2012 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2012 You could always make one yourself to your own liking with a couple hours of spare time. Cost could be quite reasonable. Here's the result of an Ontario Mk2 blade I mated to an altered M1918 Mark 1 knockoff handle of Taiwanese manufacture that really is not a bad quality casting. Nothing special, but at least I didn't have to pay for a story to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactroop Posted December 24, 2012 Share #9 Posted December 24, 2012 Ditto! I'm starting to get idea's in regards to some old knives I got for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
