Original WWII-era U.S. M3 Fighting Knife manufactured by K.I. (Kinfolks Inc.), complete with original U.S. M8 scabbard.

This is an authentic wartime M3 combat knife featuring the desirable US M3 / K.I. marking on the guard. Kinfolks was one of the less common manufacturers of the M3 fighting knife, making these examples highly sought after by military collectors.

The knife retains its original stacked leather handle, steel guard, and pommel. The blade shows honest age and service wear consistent with a genuine military-issued piece. The M8 scabbard is included and remains in solid collectible condition.Features:
