RWF,

Welcome to the forums. Your knife is a 1944-1945 Model #1 fighting knife. I am guessing it's a 7" blade.

The condition appears to be very good.

The sheath is not original. It should be in a Heiser sheath.

Great old knife. Do you have any history on it?

Here is a picture of a similar knife with the correct sheath.

Thanks for the info tunefink.
Yep. Its a 7 inch blade.

The knife belonged to my grandfather that was in WW2. Im not sure if he carried it during the war. Unfortunately, He is not around for me to ask.

Why does my knife not have a white spacer on the end? Is that a custom thing?

This was a two man shop so there was a lot of variability. Toyota it was not...

Great family piece!

Welcome, Rwf! Great first post.

The Ka-Bar sheath looks postwar to me, though I’m no expert.

Cap and I were discussing this knife during the gator show this weekend and we both were wondering if anyone else noticed the different colored fibers at the butt end vs the hilt end? Think it may have been "fixed" at a later date?
