landsknechte Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 This curious knife arrived in the mail a couple of days ago, and I'm still trying to make sense of it.The specs:Blade is 5 9/16" long.As viewed from the top 3/16" thick at the thickest point.1/4" from the back of the blade to the beginning of the fuller.Fuller is 5/16" wide.From fuller to edge is approx 3/8".It seems to be a hair wider, and a little thicker than the M1905E1 bayonet I have to compare it against. Quite a bit shorter. Also, it doesn't fit into the M8 scabbard that the M1905E1 slides right into.Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolldad Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 it looks to be a cut down sword blade. common with the patton sword blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape isn't right to be a cut down M1913 blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
