Description: RARE, EXCELLENT PLUS WWII KA-BAR USMC FIGHTING KNIFE W/SHEATH. Some of the most desirable U. S. fighting knives of WWII are the Marine fighting knives made by the Union Cutlery Company (KA-BAR). The first of those were the hot-blued finished so-called "Red Spacer" KA-BAR's which did not hold up well in the hot, humid jungle conditions of the Southwest Pacific islands, like Guadalcanal, where the Marines fought. As a result, for its second generation of Marine fighting knives KA-BAR switched to a gray-blue Parkerized finish. However, before it made that change it produced a few - a very few - 2nd Generation knives with the original, hot-blue finish. Those hot-blue finished, 2nd Generation USMC KA-BAR's are very rare, and this knife is one of them. And, as the photos show it is in excellent plus condition! It's blade is properly stamped "KA-BAR/OLEAN, N.Y." on it left ricasso and "USMC" on its right. It comes with its original, BOYT-style sheath. If you have any questions, please ask before buying or making an offer. Thanks.
