1 vintage World War II Army Air Corps aircrew survival machete available.

This folding survival machete is uncommon in that it comes complete with its original white/grey leather scabbard, sharpening stone, and white/grey leather thong leg tie-down.  The white/grey leather wrist thong is present as well.  These leather thongs are often/usually missing.  Also, this folding survival machete was never used.

See pages 195 and 196 of M.H. Cole's The Best of U.S. Military Knives Bayonets & Machetes for more information on this knife.  The tang on this survival machete is stamped 'IMPERIAL PROV., R.I.'.  The checkered grip handle is made of bakelite material.

This vintage WW 2 Army Air Corps survival machete is in exceptional condition.  This folding machete was never used.  The white/grey leather scabbard is in perfect condition. 

The leather is soft with no dryness.  The sharpening stone is perfect.  The folding machete itself is unused.  The blade has its original, factory edge.  There is almost no oxidation on this folding machete--in fact, I see just one spot measuring about 1/8" by 1/8".  This AAF survival machete has strong spring/snap when opening and closing the blade.



This rare complete WW2 Army Air Corps folding survival machete would make an important addition to any collection.
