Hanwei V-42 WWII Dagger – US Special Forces Combat Knife

During WWII when swords were becoming obsolete, the soldiers still required a blade for close combat or as a tool. For this reason, the military issued standard daggers and knives.

Hanwei's V-42 WWII Dagger is a replica based on the V-42 combat knife issued to United States Special Forces during World War II. Staying true to the design, the replica is fully detailed and functional, featuring a skull cracker butt cap, straight double edged blued blade, and a stacked leather washer grip. With a full tang blade forged from 1566 carbon steel, it comes with a leather scabbard.

The blueing process of the blade means that the steel has some degree of protection against rust due to the black oxide coating. A true replica, Hanwei pays tribute to the dagger's origins and historical significance, making it a worthy addition to any collection.
