Original U.S. WWII Theatre Made Knuckle Knife with Large "Bowie" Blade & Bone Grips Category_Night Sights Army contract in the 50sOriginal Item: One of a kind. We've had a lot of custom knuckle knives before, but rarely ones this large! This is a custom theater made knuckle knife with a curved brass grip, which has 6 brass studs attached. It looks very similar to the "COG" style "1st Battalion Ranger" knuckle knives. The blade is quite large, possibly machined down from a large piece of sheet steel. It is a classic "Bowie" shape with a clip point, and it is slightly recurved.
