27Division18 Posted June 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2020 Can anyone give me some information on this WW2 fighting knife? It is unmarked but has a loop at the end of the handle (never seen that before). Someone mentioned it may be a combat engineer knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS Posted June 18, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2020 Looks like a badly reworked M3 trench knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedon Posted June 18, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 18, 2020 Looks like a post war Kutmaster commercial knife. See ebay 143635115634. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted June 18, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 18, 2020 Mikedon nailed it! Made from left over parts by "UTICA" under their commercial name of "Kutmaster". SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIP Thanks for the info. Could it have been privately purchased for use in the Korean War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted June 19, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 19, 2020 Could have been purchased for use during Korean war. Since Utica did not make M4s during Korea, it was most likely made from left over parts from WW2 production, then sold commercially. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
