1 vintage U.S. World War II Baker fighting knife.  This hard-to-find knife by Leo Baker would make a rare addition to any collection.

You can see a knife just like this on page 80 of Mike Silvey's book Knives of the United States Military--World War II.

This fine combat knife is stamped on the blade 'L. BAKER'.  The handle is made of leather.  This knife has a steel guard, and a lead pommel.  This knife measures 11 13/16" overall.  The blade itself measures 6 7/16".  The scabbard is a period World War II sheath. 

This knife is in exceptional condition.  The blade has no pitting, and only the expected carbon patina staining.  The handle is excellent.  Everything is nice and tight on this knife.
