Well-crafted theater-made World War II fighting knife with Micarta grip, measuring 11 5/8″ overall with a 6 7/8″ straight, double-edged blade having straight central ridges. The steel has a mostly bright patina with some minor handling marks and minor surface scratches at the tip on both sides as well as some minor specks of brown freckling at the base of the forte. The ‘I’-shaped brown Micarta grip has some minor surface wear but is otherwise in fine shape and is secured by three brass screws. Initials “CHC” are carved between the upper screw heads in block letters. The knife is housed in a well-made Havana leather sheath that has a row of aluminum rivets around the edge, large rectangular belt loops, and a metal bracket with U.S. wire belt hooks. The leather is in very good condition, lightly scuffed and flaked but intact with somewhat crude cut designs on the front and a large owner’s name on the reverse: "Lt. C. Cluley.” The knife is in very good plus condition overall.
