1 vintage U.S. World War II premium theater combat knife from the Roger Ballard collection available. This knife would make an important addition to any collection.
This knife is from a known/ID'd maker. This knife was made by "Bud" Fhaver in Oklahoma City during World War II. According to Ballard's ID'd card--"Fhaver worked at Tinker Air Force Base and had pattern knives on display in his work area so that soldiers could order the knife they needed. Knives were made from scrapped airplane parts."
This knife was with another of Bud Fhaver's theater knives in Roger Ballard's collection. Roger made a hand-drawn ID card for the other knife--a copy of that knife's ID card is provided with this knife, because it has the history on these knives.
This huge WWII combat knife measures 16 1/16" overall. The blade itself measures 11 1/4".
This vintage World War 2 theater fighting knife is in excellent condition. Everything is nice and tight on this knife.
