1 very desirable U.S. World War II Taylor Huff knuckle knife. This is an outstanding Taylor Huff knife for a collector.
This is a large 14 1/2″ overall. The blade itself measures 9 11/16″. This is the Huff variation 3 with the walnut grip with no brass strip.
Take a look at photos in this listing from the following references. The references are from Frank Trzaska’s article in Military Knives–A Reference Book pages 154-156; M.H. Cole’s The Best of U.S. Military Knives Bayonets & Machetes pages 277-278; and Bill Wright’s Theater Made Military Knives of World War II pages 136-137. These reference photos show the exact features of this knife and its Huff sheath.
Note the stitching pattern on the front of this scabbard. The exact pattern, with stitching on the bottom 2/3 of the scabbard and no stitching–only a rolled line along the outer edges of the top 1/3 of the scabbard, can be seen in the knife appearing on page 155 of Military Knives–A Reference Book.
Next note the straight, not tapered, ricasso/tang on this knife, and on the Huff knives on pages 136 & 137 of Bill Wright’s book.
Third, notice the sheath design Patent Office application drawing on page 155 of Military Knives–A Reference Book. The back stitching is exact, the only minor variation is Huff proposed, at the time of the application, adding two rivets to the leather piece holding the brass wire hanger.
The photos provide other examples of every other feature of this knife.
I have also attached photos of three other Taylor Huff knuckle knives I have owned for reference. These photos show both some of the same features as on this knife, and they show that Taylor Huff made changes to his different knife designs over time. These knives appear in the very last five photos.
The blade has its original perfect edges (see the example perfect original blade edges photographed on page 154 of Military Knives–A Reference Book). The blade edges on the knife on this site exactly match the original perfect edges on the example knife in the reference book.
There is additional information on Taylor Huff knuckle knives in Mike Silvey’s United States Military Knives 1941 to 1991 pages 148-149.
