I have been cleaning this up for a few days now. WWII Ka-Bar "Trench Art". This is a "Theatre Knife" An original Ka-Bar made by the Union Cutlery Company which later became "Ka-Bar". The first ones made had screw on pommels like this one. Later they were made by other companies as well with peened pommels. It is 1095 steel and was originally blackened with a leather stacked handle. It was popular for GIs with access to mobile or ship based machine shops to alter their Ka-Bars. Aluminum and Plexiglas were newer materials back then and it was popular to make these handles in various patterns like this. Polishing the black off the blade was less common. This one also has a sharpened drop point as well. The handle materials were often salvaged from downed air craft and the most prized ones were made with parts from downed Japanese Zeros. Of course the story with most of them is that they came from such a source as was the case with this one; there is no way to know at this point. The friend who gave me this received it from a relative in about 1950 when he was 10 years old. When I received it it was in pretty rough shape. It 's been really fun to restore it to it's original gaudy appearance.

Slipped the 44 in the pocket this morning then took my better half on a picnic after church.

The knife is developing nice character.

My red g10 putman scales had the same problem, so I filed down the female side of the pivot a little and it worked great I also replaced small pb washers with new ones the same thickness but larger diameter and wow what a difference in blade stability.

Thanks. I appreciate your reply. I guess I'll leave mine like it is from Benchmade.

Nice! Been thinking about bobbing the flipper tab on mine too. How well does it flip now? If it's not too much trouble can you post a photo with the Advocate in the closed position showing the bobbed tab?

Thank you much!

Flips great. I just need to refine it a bit more.
