Theater Knife, Post Your Favorite(s) here

[Martin C]

Hello All,

In the field of collecting we all have our favorite areas, and one of mine is theater knives. I find them interesting, as some can be a work of art or a crude looking tool for killing. I'm going to show a few of my favorites and ask you to do the same. The first is a USN mark1 with a altered handle, done by my father while aboard ship and sent to his brother in the ETO. The second i believe started as a 30-40 Krag bayonet.

Take care, Mart

Unmarked US Mark 2.....

Here's mine, got it last year from eBay, no background story to it. It's possibly a Kabar or USN MK2 blade, named with USMC. Other members have suggested that the sheath is probably not the original one. There's also a faint LF&C that had been ground off. I've got a thread somewhere in here. nice knives!

Mart,

Nice.

I picked up one a year or so ago. High quality engraved "Berlin by Xmas".

I've been trying to determine the origins of the blade...looks slightly similar to yours....

Hello,

Here's one of mine, and it's a big one! In the last image i placed in next to a F-S for a comparison in size.

Take care,

Hi Michael,

Interesting knife, is that a faint "U.S" under those grind marks?
Thanks for sharing!

I found an US M3 Imperial at an estate sale last summer.
