1 vintage U.S. World War II premium theater/home front fighting knife available.

Theater knives are fighting knives made by soldiers or craftsman here at home for soldiers, or were hunting knives, etc. that were donated by the citizens for the War effort. Knives made by soldiers were often made with materials that were readily available to them–like plexiglass spacers made from enemy aircraft windshields, aluminum, brass, leather, and blades or handles from Issue fighting knives.
