WWII German Luftwaffe Survival Machete
This knife was issued primarily to bomber crews on the Eastern front. Originals are rarely seen, making this high quality reproduction a must-have for the collector and re-enactor. The blade has been made of 1095 high carbon steel, tempered in computer controlled kilns and honed to a razor sharp edge. The dark finished hardwood scales are pinned in place. A deep blue metal sheath is included in delivery. The black canvas frog fits belts up to 2 3⁄4" (7cm) wide. More information...
