1 vintage U.S. World War II OSS stiletto fighting knife. This historic OSS stiletto would make an important addition to any collection.
The knife measures 11 5/8" overall. The blade itself measures just under 6 3/4". The blade has one Rockwell test mark. The original black rubber scabbard o-ring always breaks down over time. Many collectors replace the black rubber o-ring with one from a hardware store. The original o-ring was exactly that--a standard black rubber o-ring, plain and simple.
