Original Description:
WWII US Very Rare Fighting Knife Handmade by Leo F Baker of Chicago Illinois This and other knives that I am listing are from my late husbands collection. The only info I have on these items are from the the labels that were attached to them and references books. This Very Rare knife was handmade by Blacksmith Leo F Baker. Baker made his fighting knives for WWII GIs. The blade is marked L Baker and in good condition. The blade is about 6.75 inches long. Baker made his blades from ...old worn files which he forged and re-tempered. His blades are famously known to cut steel without denting the blade. The handle is in good condition and is nice and tight, but has a crack in one washer as you can see in the pics. Baker made his handles with leather and rubber. The guard is tight and made of thick steel. The pommel is made of thick lead. Both Leather scabbards come with this knife. The one on the left is in good condition the one on the right is in fair condition and marked 227 on the back looks like M-2138See all pics thanks😁References:-Knives of the United States Military World War II by Michael W Silver, Pages 78-80-U.S. and Allied Military Knives -World War II Book II by Bill Walters, pages 58-60-The Best of U.S. Military Knives Bayonets & Machetes by M.
