The knife is about 9\" /22.9 cm overall; the blade is about 4-3/4\"/12 cm. Stacked leather washers over hollow aluminum body handle with nickel guard and aluminum pommel; all parts are tight. Screw-on cup with original and still functional FRANCE compass - VERY rare as such. \"Square type\" CASE logo on ricasso; the blade is lightly re-sharpened; the tip is intact; about 40% of the original chrome-plating remaining. War-time \"spear-point\" leather sheath is used, but still in 100% serviceable condition; the keeper seems to be a replacement but it holds the knife tight.

Scarce WW2 era hollow handle survival / fighting knife made by Case Cutlery in the early 1940th. Early in the war a lot of  knives of all shapes and sized were marketed for private sales to the GIs in order to satisfy the demand for the much-needed fighting knives. Similar CASE \"survival knife\" type is illustrated on page 92 of KNIVES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WORLD WAR II book by Michael W Silvey (page\'s scan attached). Mr. Silvey is a well-established expert author of many books on the subject of US military edged weapons.

The knife is about 9\" / 22.9 cm overall; trailing point blade is about 4-3/4\" / 12 cm. Stacked leather washers over hollow aluminum body handle with nickel guard and aluminum pommel; all parts are solid with no play. Screw-on cup with original and still functional FRANCE compass - VERY rare as such. Ricasso is stamped with WW2 era \"square type\" CASE logo; blade\'s spine at the base is ribbed for better control during cutting & slicing. The blade is lightly re-sharpened; the tip is intact; about 40% of the original chrome-plating remaining. War-time \"spear-point\" leather sheath is used, but still in 100% serviceble condition. The leather is soft and supple; the keeper seems to be a replacement but it holds the knife tight.
