    Description

    Original WW2-era American fighting knife manufactured by Kinfolks Cutlery in Little Valley, NY. This is a typical mid-war production type with a simple Bakelite guard, fullered 5-inch blade. As the war progressed, Kinfolks had to phase out the use of aluminum due to the wartime ban on the use of strategic metals for the “non-essential” products. As soon as the “old stock” of aluminum parts was depleted Kinfolks started to use bakelite for guards and pommels on all of their fighting knives. A similar Kinfolks mid-war manufacture type with than-standard Bakelite fittings is illustrated on page 166 of the KNIVES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WORLD WAR II book by Michael W Silvey – a well-established expert and author of many books on the subject of US military edged weapons.
