Originals of this WWII V-42 Elite Special Forces Knife are exceptionally rare, although this knife is a great replica of the original, possessing a long, thrusting blade, as well as a similar design that makes this one brutally useful combat blade. Combat knives are typically different from survival knives or hunting knives, possessing a blade that's designed purely for thrusting and stabbing, as this is how the most damage is typically delivered in the frantic melee of close-quarters combat. This knife possesses a thin, stabbing blade that's crafted from 1095 high carbon steel that possesses a blued finish, as well as a double edge. The dagger comes with a factory edge, although both edges are fairy sharp. The knife also features a grooved thumb rest in the riasco for helping to control the blade during a thrust, while also featuring a grip that swells slightly, providing a contour that fits nicely into the palm. The dagger's pommel is a skull-crusher design that excels at delivering a painful and deadly bash when driven into the top of an enemy's head. The knife's blade measures approximately 7.25 inches, while the knife's overall length is closer to 12.25 inches. Included with the knife is a top grain, low-rise leather scabbard with leather leg ties. There's really no questioning why this WWII V-42 Elite Special Forces Knife was so effective a combat dagger, especially when you consider how deadly this narrow blade would be in the hands of a skilled knife-fighter.
