Nahkampfmesser!

17.6.05

Close Combat Knives

Finally, a decent copy of the Nahkampfmesser!   Two styles to choose from.  Much better quality steel than the copies in the past, you can cut yourself with these, and they have a correct handle design with 3 rivits.   The scabards are specific to the knife shown, the single clip to the knife w/o hilt. Made in China, but very sufficent for display or reenacting.  FHQ can mute the import mark with our stamp.  The best part is the price.  $55 each or buy the set of $100!

V-42 Commando Knife

Standard Issue Combat Knife issued to the 1st Special Service Force.

This isn't a German thing but these guys began as a combined US - Canadian Force that trained at what is now Fort Harrison outside Helena, Montana.   This is a very cool replica and I last saw these sold as replicas in the early 90s.   Now available again.  Originals were made by Case in the US.  These are made in China, but not bad steel and a whole lot more affordable than original at $80!   The scan cuts off the scabbard which has another 6 inches or so above the snap.   Mine is sitting next to my 1942 - 1992 50th Anniversary Kessler Beer Bottle!
