Yes, and a questionably effective weapon though the military of the day did train men in the use as a weapon. I think I have a manual kicking around here somewhere.

Nice example, and complete with the scabbard, congratulations.

I just read up on this... an insanely rare and desirable knife!

Apparently this is the SOE variation... the US had an OSS one, but with 2 large rivets.
