Western WW2 G46-6 Shark Knife. Patent 1,967,479

WWII Western G46-6 Fighting Knife - Patent Number Stamp - Leather Sheath. Up for sale is a WWII-era Western G46-6 fighting / hunting knife with leather sheath. This is the desirable 6-inch blade version of Western's G46 series, featuring the early patent number ricasso stamp, not the later "Made in USA" marking. This knife has a 6-inch clipped-point blade with fuller, stacked leather handle, aluminum guard, aluminum pommel, and colored spacer accents. The pommel shows the peened tang construction typical of the period. Bluing is feint, blade has wear in higher contact areas, but is full and sharp. Handle is very good to excellent.

Sheath is in very good shape with field modification with OD green canvas web belt loop/hanger with blackened metal wire hooks.
