Description
One rare U.S. WWII Kennedy Fighting Knife is available. We have listed several variations of Kennedy Arms fighting knives, and this example represents yet another distinctive version. As a result, a Kennedy Arms knife makes an exceptionally rare addition to any premium collection.
The blade on this fine combat knife measures 7 5/8″ long, while the knife measures 12 1/8″ overall. In addition, the handle bears a clear stamp reading “KENNEDY ARMS – ST. PAUL.” Furthermore, the original sheath features a stamp that reads “KENNEDY BROS. ARMS CO. – ST. PAUL.”
Moore manufactured these knives for Kennedy Bros. Arms. Notably, I spoke with Moore’s son some time ago, and he shared an interesting firsthand account. According to him, when he was a boy, his father would give him completed knives to deliver from Moore’s shop in Minneapolis to Kennedy Arms in St. Paul. He would transport them by streetcar, adding a compelling personal connection to this knife’s history.

This rare wood-handle WWII Kennedy Fighting Knife remains in excellent condition. The blade shows no pitting and retains an excellent overall appearance. Likewise, the handle remains in exceptional condition. Additionally, the scabbard features distinctive braided leather lacing attached to the bottom, enhancing its character and originality.
