This WW2 Kephart knuckle knife is in beautiful condition. Everything is nice and tight on this knife. There is the lightest of surface oxidation on the blade--this is of the type that will easily clean off if desired. This knife has the original blade edges that Kephart put on this knife. There are no nicks in the blade, and there are no signs of use. The scabbard has remnants of what looks like a G.I.'s serial # stenciled on the back.
