02BO047-Boker plus V-42 fixed knife

Boker V-42 fixed knife or dagger

In 1942 a special unit called the Devil's Brigade was formed to fight behind enemy lines.
This unit was made up of American and Canadian soldiers specially trained for very delicate missions and at night.
The blackened faces for camouflage earned them the nickname "Black Devils" in the German Wehrmacht.
An important weapon that was part of their equipment was their famous V-42 combat knife.
A handle made of pressed leather discs ending in a pointed hammer.
A non-rusting SK-85 carbon steel coated blade in Spear Point form is ground on both sides with a special thumb slot.
Safety opening: Fixed with double guard
Brown leather sheath included
The Boker V-42 is virtually identical to the original, which to this day can be seen on the US Army Special Forces emblem.
