I picked this up off eBay for $51(including shipping) because I have always wanted a knife with this grip configuration. I was given to understand that these were originally made as M1 bayonets by a company called "Kutmaster" but, they were rejected because the attachments wouldn't hold. So somewhen the company turned what they had on hand into knives? WWII? Post war as sporting knives?? Anyway, it's clear this one had the blade altered and was never cut for a bayonet lug. The hole for the release is there but no release of course.
There wasn't a sheath or scabbard so I'll just make a WWII era type leather sheath for it.
Since this isn't a military issue anything, I took the liberty of polishing the blade a bit since it was pretty nice to begin with. It was pitted sometime in the past and those marks remain but it looks pretty nice naytheless I think.
Another nice thing about it is that it throws remarkably well. I struck it truly 11 times before missing a stick. Darn nice!
Anyway, I know it's no big deal but, it doesn't strike me as something you see every day so I thought I would hang it out here.

Btw, It's not really not near as shiny as it looks in the pics, that's flash or sun glare. I have not polished the cross guard or butt at all.Information
