A one of a kind World War 2 fighting knife available.  This knife was brought back to the U.S.–likely from New Caledonia (Noumea).  This fine World War 2 fighting knife would make an important addition to any collection.  
 

The sheath is the same as the sheaths associated with the stag handle WW2 New Caldonia knives.  So though I have never seen another knife like this before, New Caledonia is likely where this knife was made.  So pretty cool history there.  
 

This is a large knife.  It has a 9″ blade.  Most larger fighting knives have an 8″ or 7″ blade.  This knife measures 13 7/8″ overall.  

1 Japanese World War 2 Army dress sword with desirable inscription.  This sword would make an important addition to any collection.

A sword with an inscription is found in only maybe 1 in every 150-200 IJA dress swords.

Unfinished U.S. WW2 Imperial blade-marked M3 trench fighting knife blank available.  This U.S. WW2 edged weapon collectible would make an important acquisition for any collector.  

This Imperial M3 blade blank wasn’t finished at Imperial, because the ‘US M3 IMPERIAL’ mark was stamped in the wrong spot—or it was a test piece as part of the manufacturing process, and was deliberately stamped just somewhere on the blade. 

1 scabbard for the WW2 Collins No.1001 or Disston U.S.M.C. Square-Tip Entrenching machete available.  This hard-to-find WW2 scabbard would make an important addition to any Square-Tip machete.

Japanese General Grade swords have tortoiseshell grips as this one does.  

1 fine 19th Century German No. 923 Weyersberg Irmaos Bowie knife/hunting dagger/short sword.  This fine piece would make a rare addition to any collection.

1 fabulous U.S. Navy WW2 Seabee knife available.  This knife is ID’d to the Seabee that carried it–he also wrote each theater location where he served on the scabbard.  

The top of the sheath is marked ‘U.S.N. “SEA-BEES”  S.T. HOWZE  1941-1944. CAN DO!’.  He also drew a steam shovel here on the sheath–really cool.
