U.S & German World War I & II Military Knives

Post by Miller Bro's »

I like collecting WW II era U.S. and German Military knives.

I would like to see any knives others here might have in their collection.

Here is an unused WWII era Camillus, USMC fighting knife with scabbard.


Let`s see your old military knives ::tu::

Thanks D.
Here's a First Special Forces pocket knife that belonged to my wife's uncle. He was killed by a booby trapped pistol near the end of 44 in France. We're still trying to figure out what outfit he was with.

I was using one of those for an EDC a few years ago,...I really liked that knife.

Yes, I did. I only wish there was some sort of mark. It is definite though it will fit a small frame 5 inch revolver. I don't remember the Police ever wearing an apparatus that would accept a web belt hanger. I will look that thread up and post the url to here also.

Yours appears to be an LF&C, Is it the hard to find one with the extra knob on the bottom.
Do you have the bottom iron piece also.

I'm sure you have one but if you don't I think I have a photo of what that sheath looks like if you would like to have it redone or use what you have as a pattern for a remake with the leather and all from scratch. Then keep them all together with the partial genuine article.

Moss,

I do not have the bottom piece, I wish I did. A few years ago there were some reproduction sheaths on the market. I should have bought a few. They were very close to the original.

I have yet to find one of these knives with an intact original sheath. Do you know where I can find one?

Great knife ::tu:: . Ulster made a similar pattern for the Canadian forces in WWII. Is your knife made by Ulster or another company?

Could your wife's uncle have been with the 10th Mountain Division? These Ulster knives are often called 10th Mountain Div knives. They are not as common as other WW2 pocket knives.

It's possible, we are going to try to get a copy of his service record. No one in the family is left that knows for sure. I've not found his name in any of the records on the web.

Always like seeing that old Ulster Willie ::nod::

Seeing you started on military pocket knives and that`s what most people around here want to see, I gathered up these WWII era bone utility knives and one USCG Rope Knife that I had kicking around :)
