WW2 U.S. SPECIAL FORCES FIGHTING KNIFE-REPLICA-WITH FACSIMILE SIGNATURE COL. A BANKS-SEE DESCRIPTION

 REPLICA OF A US FIRST SPECIAL SERVICE FORCE =FSSF= V-42 FIGHTING KNIFE. MANY DESIGN FEATURES WERE COPIED FROM THE BRITISH FAIRBURN SYKES COMMANDO KNIFE . THE FIGHTING KNIFE IS VERY WELL MADE , EVEN TO THE INCLUSION OF THE THUMB GRIP ON THE RICASSO . IT ALSO CARRIES A FACSIMILE SIGNATURE OF COLONEL AARON BANKS ' FATHER OF THE U.S. ARMY SPECIAL FORCES '. ONLY ABOUT 800 OF THESE KNIVES WERE ORIGINALLY PRODUCED, SO FINDING AN ORIGINAL WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE
