Description
1 iconic fighting knife from World War 2 available. This U.S. WW2 E.W. Stone knuckle fighting knife would make a rare addition to any collection.
E.W. Stone made these knives aboard ship during World War 2. The cast aluminum handle is formed in the images of a skull and cobra. Awesome knife.
This Stone knuckle knife measures 12 1/4″ overall. The blade itself measures 6 15/16″.
This is the more rare pig-nose version of the Stone knuckle knife. On the U.S.N. MK.2 scabbard is an incredible braided leather leg tie-down. Braided into the tie-down is a gambling die. The bottom of the tie-down is held together with a Turkish knot–a knot known to seamen. The keeper strap was cut off–it wouldn’t have fit around the handle anyway.
CONDITION:
This WW2 pig-nosed version EW Stone knuckle knife is in beautiful condition. The aluminum handle has a wonderful aged patina, and is in perfect condition. The knife blade has just minor oxidation where it was sharpened. All just show that this knife has been there.
The scabbard is in excellent condition. The leather tie-downs show light crazing–which help to show the knife’s age.
This incredible, pig-nosed WW2 EW Stone knuckle knife, with its combat braided leg tie-down, would make a rare addition to a premium collection.
