Schrade H-15 WWII Combat Knife

[lawrence_n]

I have a shot at picking up a Schrade WWII era H-15 combat knife. I am passingly familiar with the Ka-Bar, Ek, Cattaraugus, Sykes-Fairbairn, etc. knives but this is a first for me and (I assume) not too common. It's not as nice as the one pictured and has no sheath but it's free of any coarse damage or signs of abuse. Your input would be appreciated.

I just found a Cattaraugus 225Q after looking for years. This one is also hard to find for sure, specially here in Canada. They can be had in USA for between $100-$200USD depending on things. Let us have a look after if you get it.

I purchased an H-15 last year with an original sheath for $30.00 Blade had some light pitting but still bright and sharp. Would post a photo if I knew how.

Yes...in the US. Not here in Canada. Also sometimes you get lucky, but these blades are nearly non existent here.

Would post a photo if I knew how.

Check your PM for my email address, I'll post it for you.

Here's the Schrade H-15 Lewis speaks of in post #3...

I'm not so sure they were WW2 knives at all. I think more like RVN era. But then in 1989 I obtained a brand new WW2 marked K-Bar from a US SEAL on the USS Alamo... There were lots of these different knives still in supply.
