I got a new catalog from a company I never heard of before, CH Kadels. Inside is a 1942 US combat sword that looks like a cross between a samarai sword and a kabar knife.

I've never seen one of these before or even heard of one before. Did a web search and came up with a dozen ads for new made items which seems to support my hypothesis that this is a modern made up sword with a fancy name to make sales.

Did such a sword ever exist or is this a modern creation?

It looks nice and for the whopping price of $29.99 I know it has to be a quality piece of workmanship.
