1 rare vintage U.S. World War 2 Stelzig knuckle knife. This rare World War combat knife would make an important addition to any collection.
This style of Stelzig knuckle knife can be seen in Mike Silvey's book U.S. Military Knives - World War 2. This Stelzig knife measures 12 1/2" overall. The blade itself measures 8". Note the weighted skull crusher pommel on this Stelzig's WWI Mark 1 trench knife style handle.
The scabbard is not an original Stelzig sheath. The collector bought the knife without a sheath. He had one made for it with old leather from a U.S. 1945 bolo machete. Though not original, it is well done.
This U.S. World War 2 Stelzig knuckle knife is in excellent condition.
