    Replica 1918 Knuckle knife

    Anyone have a nice replica 1918 knuckle knife for sale or tell me who makes a good copy, I've seen some really bad copies and I'm looking for a nice one?
    Thanks guys,
    Greg

    I have a copy i got some 28 years ago. The older copies are better. I might sell mine but while it's a good copy it has a manufacturing flaw in the grip. Looks as to be a casting flaw.

      Here is my copy. Sorry it's not a good photo all I have right now. You cannot see the flaw on it. And the blade is in a scabbard. The blade is kind of week looking as it it might break off in use. The Blade is easy to spot as a fake because it was chrome plated. I wonder if there is a custom knife maker who could copy the blade with a quality blade. Then it would be worth keeping.

      Best knife to have if you ever need to defend yourself from a break in with a knife. I bought it via mail order in 1980 or 81

            I got the sheath at a much later date then the Knife. The Sheath is made in Taiwan. Not sure about the knife.

                You can see the casting flaw, I assume casting flaw anyway. Last two photos.

                  Seems to be a chrome plated blade.
