With C lyde being into knives the way he is I'm surprised he's not been participating in this thread.

9 May 2019 WWII THEATER KNIFE(s)
At the start of WWII America, like many countries on both sides of the war lack adequate quantities of almost everything. This included “combat knives.” Many knives were made by hand, often in the somewhat crude and makeshift machine shops; and some, like the WWI (and WWII) bayonet maker, KUTMASTER. Here are two ex-KUTMASTER Bayonets that have been converted to fig(5ing knives; the (probably chromed) Knife is more then likely a factory done job; shortened blade with a “knife” profile; the barrel ring has been cut and peeled over, and the bayonet lug has been filled in to preclude its original use as a bayonet. The darker finished knife was probably done by someone who copied what KUTMASTER had done. Some of the WWII Theater Knives were very well made knives and others were quite amateurish. Many commercially made hunting knives were often rehandled - with plexiglass, plastics, or leather; the has also been counterfeited knives as the collectibility and value rose.

Another pair of knives; this time made by Frank Dilluvio, a Michigan Knife Maker. Finished with Desert ironwood and red fiberglass. These are two truly wicked sharp knives.

I thought I was being original, LOL. On mine, the thumb depression in front of the handle is functional since there won't be a top guard. I'm not sure what the purpose of a thumb depression is when you can't get to it

Coffin Handle Bowie. It's finally finished. D2 steel, golden ebony handle. Since D2 is near stainless, the scale from heat treating is not too bad looking. I decided to keep it and just polish it up a tad instead of polishing it off. Looks kind of like color case hardening.
This is for a friend in Oklahoma. College buddy actually! I promised to make him one in the 1970s but quit knifemaking before I could get to it.
