Original Australian WWII New Zealand Unmarked Commando Fighting Knuckle Knife With Original Sheath

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an exceptional piece that dates back to World War II, and is an authentic example of a fighting knuckle knife with an aluminum handle, made in either Australia or New Zealand. The knife is in good condition and comes with its original leather scabbard. This type of knife is a rare find, and the style is not commonly seen in collections. In fact, it is so unique that it has been featured in the book "Fighting Knives" by Frederick Stephens on page 53, as well as on the front and back cover. As a collector, this would be a prized possession and an excellent addition to any collection.
