Plastic replica knife of the famous US M3 knife that was issued to all branch of service troops in WW2 including the Infantry and Airborne.

Original issued to soldiers that were not issued a bayonet but later it was issued or acquired by almost anyone as a good knife.

Why make a plastic M3 knife?

There are a few reasons the main one is safety if you are attending a public event you may not want to (or you may not be allowed to carry) a real knife strapped to your leg, hanging off a belt or left within reach of a child on a display.

Plastic knives can also be used for hand to hand fighting demonstrations 

These flexible plastic M3 knives are made to the full size of the real M3 knives. 

The blades are flexible but stiff enough to keep there shape. The blade can bend quite a bit side to side so it will not hurt if you are re-enacting but it the blade tip is pointed so that will hurt if used in a stabbing demonstration on unprotected areas (IE bare skin not covered by clothing).

The handle is full size with the groves cut out like the original to give you grip.

Knife will fit into our M6 leather scabbard, Scabbard not included.

Blade length 17cms

Handle 12 cms.

 Price is for 1 x Plastic M3 knife.
