WW2 Dix fighting knife, 6.5-inch M3 style blade, original M8 composition scabbard. Very rare American “private purchase” type fighter in excellent overall condition, considering the age. FREE USPS PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S. FOR THIS ITEM!
Original WW2 era American fighting knife manufactured by a little known knife maker Dix – this this a VERY hard-to-find “private purchase” type fighter. This exact type is illustrated on page 113 of the KNIVES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WORLD WAR II book by Michael W Silvey – a well-established expert and author of many books on the subject of US military edged weapons (see the page’s scan attached).
The knife is about 11″ / 28 cm overall; the blade is about 6-1/2″ / 16.5 cm long; the edge is very sharp still; the tip is intact. Stacked leather washers handle with large pinned round iron pommel and steel guard. The handle is solid; all parts are tight; the guard has a tiny bit of a play. Original WW2 era M8 composition scabbard is in excellent overall condition as well. With proper care this WW2 Dix fighting knife will last you another 85 years 😉
This rare WW2 Dix fighting knife has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way, the set is in 100% original “as is” condition; this type is rare in unused condition. These are the actual photos; Garand clips are not included with the knife 
I have a few more WW2 US-made bayonets, as well as some scarce WW1 and WW2 era fighting daggers and trench knives made in the US, Great Britain, France, Germany, and other countries available for sale – please take a look in the Militaria section.
