Case

1 vintage U.S. World War 2 Case V-42 stiletto.  This V-42 is a premium example–for the most advanced collections.  

This Case V-42 has the long scabbard.  The blade on this knife measures 7 7/16″–its full original length. 

This knife was used by the First Special Service Force.  Frank Trzaska notes in his article “The Case V-42 Stiletto” which appeared in the April 1998 edition of KnifeWorld, that “The U.S. Special Forces (Green Berets) use the V-42 in their Distinctive Insignia, their Unit Crest and in their shoulder patch.”  The Case V-42 is a coveted and classic U.S. fighting knife.
