Description
WW2 Colonial survival knife and original USN web pouch – part of USAF/USN pilot survival kit. Huge 4-3/4″ blade, intact saw. Scarce type in great overall condition, considering the age. FREE USPS PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S. FOR THIS ITEM.
Extra-large WW2 era “Jumbo Jack” folder from the US Navy and Army Air Corps survival kits. This specimen was manufactured by Colonial Cutlery in Providence, RI. Original green web pouch is included – scarce as such. I have the same folder type available but that one was made by United Machine Tool Company, please take a look. These extra-large folders are hard to find in good condition these days, especially with the saw blade intact and original pouch included. This type is illustrated on page 188 of KNIVES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WORLD WAR II book by Michael W Silvey – a well-established expert and the author of a number of books on the subject of the US military edged weapons (see book’s page scan attached).
The knife is about 6″ / 15.3 cm closed; large heavy-duty clip point blade is about 4-3/4″ /12 cm; the lock is in perfect condition; all parts are tight with no play. Black plastic handle scales are in great overall condition with no cracks or chips. The saw blade is intact and very sharp still – better than average condition for the type. This big boy is not your typical pocket knife a bit over 6″ long even when closed and weighs about 13 oz / 360 grams. Original green belt-carry web pouch is in decent shape; the snap button has popped and the top cover has a hole but these pouches are VERY hard to find in any shape or form nowadays. This survival knife set is in great shape overall – it is in 100% serviceable condition still, just needs some oiling. With proper care this WW2 Colonial survival knife will last you another 75 years 😉
This original WW-II era WW2 Colonial survival knife has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way; it’s in 100% original “as is” condition. These are the actual photos. I have a few vintage Sheffield-made knives, as well as WW2 era British combat knives and bayonets, scarce American and German WW1 and WW2 fighting daggers and trench knives available for sale – please take a look in the store’s Militaria section.
