mikedon Posted November 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2018 A group of three theater knives made with 1918 Mark 1 trench knife handles. The first is made with a M3 blade, (U.S. M3-U.C.-1943). The second is made with an M5 blade. The third is made with a section of a M1913 Patton Saber blade. I included a fourth modern one made by Mike Silvey. Mike did an exceptional job on it.

2AD_Vet Posted December 17, 2018 Share #9 Posted December 17, 2018 Do you have any pics of the work in progress and how you attached the pommel nut? I have a repo handle and a bayonet and would like to do this but would like to see how you did it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure someone on the Forum could tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2AD_Vet Posted December 19, 2018 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2018 Well, it wasn't too tough after all. I took a cheap repo M3 bayonet and a cheap repo 1918 knife handle and in about 3 hrs I had this...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
