This is the exact knife described and pictured in Bill Walter’s U.S. AND ALLIED MILITARY KNIVES WORLD WAR II pages 30-32.  This knife is Knife 3 in the book.  Howard made about 300 knives between 1942-1944. He made about 50 of this earliest first pattern 9-point knuckle knife.  The later knives were 8-point knives.

This knife comes with Roger Ballard’s highly collectible, hand drawn ID card for this knife.  Roger notes on the back of the ID card that he got this knife from Larry Thomas.  Roger, Larry, and Bill Walters all were buddies who collected World War 2 knives.
