Interesting... thought it was basically the same as the original WW2 wood knives in size and steel etc. I found an original in an old car dealership behind a massive steel bench in 1980. No telling how long it was there. It’s been in my tool box since. The Wood version is like a 4” carbon steel blade. And judging by how it sharpens up and holds an edge I would guess it to be 01 tool steel...

So cool. Thanks for busting that out. Do you have any old bayonets? My step dad had a ww2 German officer dress dagger.

Scales are probably bakelite not plastic given the age

I recommend watching UTube video titled: History of the Luftwaffe Gravity Knife - Geschichte des Kappmessers (1936-TODAY), WW2 footage
