re: Luftwaffe Gravity Knifes
Hi Jock, I have never seen or heard of one with bakelite grips before? I will ask a few friends about it.
Cheers, Ade.

Looks like not only is the handle resin, but the metal is also finished in the phosphate finish. I never knew they did that to these....

Here's something sort of similar. Not a gravity knife, but a collector friend of mine had this gun that is in the link below. It is an ac45 K.43 that has an all resin stock to it.

I guess they were trying anything to speed up production.

Hi, Ade !
There was the German "Fliegerkapp-Messer Modell 1945".
The grip was made of synthetic material.
Maker: Holzwarenfabrik Carl Seifert.
The only pic´s of this knife, I´ve ever seen, I spotted in the German magazine: "VISIER SPECIAL" "NR.12 Militär-Messer" on page 58.

The design of the "Fliegerkapp-Messer 45" is quite different of the well known gravity-knife of the WL ...
