Customer Rating: 5 ratings

During WWII our troops carried a variety of fighting knives…many of them private purchase. Floyd Nichols, a metal sculptor from Nebraska made some of the best private purchase knives of the era. Our razor sharp version is made like the originals from hand-forged high carbon steel that’s tempered for optimal strength, durability and edge holding qualities. The cast brass grip fits sweetly in the hand and its unique shape is a thing of beauty. The pommel cap was usually graced with an Indian-head nickel soldered in place (ours is a one-sided reproduction proof). The top-grained brown leather sheath stitched with waxed linen thread and riveted at the stress points. Fits 2" belts. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®
  • Overall: 12-1/4"

I was excited to see this knife advertized buy when I saw it I was very disappointed. My Dad carried one all through WWII and I carried it in VN till I was medevacd and lost track of it. The blade is the biggest differance it was single ground edge and more of a dropped edge point with a sharpen upper edge the only things right are the hilt and the nickel.

Sloppy craftsmanship, crudely made. A total rip off at $60. Should be more like $9.99 (or less)

Just got this knife. It's a beauty - a knife that is both utilitarian, and a work of art. It's unreal to get a hand forged, high quality knife at this price. Sweet.

Another crude AC repro of some one elses work and design. Does NOT compare in any way shape of form to an original Nichols knife.
