WW2 Named Knuckle knife

Featured Replies

#1

Knuckle knife named to ROGER A.HAWK 110th Field Artillery United States Army.

 

Hand made knuckle appears to be made by his father as there is a notation on scabbard that this set was made from a Civil War sword.

 

Knife with a push type spike dagger and both named to the veteran.Havent done any searches on the vet but recall the 110th FA was assigned to the 29th Division.

Great looking knife

Fantastic find Ron. That is a great piece, you do find some great items.

#15

What a great looking knife. It appears to have a Patton sabre blade (I think).

#16

Really nice find. Has a little bit of a Woroniecki look - maybe copied from one. The push dagger is neat.

 

How long? - 6-7" blade

 

Congrats

That's a great find Ron! The push dagger appears to be from a Civil War Bayonet as well....Very cool!

#18

As Sic indicated looks like a woroniecki design with full width blade. Great knife, scabbard looks very nice too. The owner must have thought it was cool too as it doesn't look like he wore it much. Thanks for sharing.
