"Original pommel and leather washers were gone. I sanded and polished the blade. Added the deer antler with crown, dyed and stabilized tiger maple with stainless spacer and pin. Last picture is what it looked like. Very solid and ready for work."

I took these additional pictures to provide size and to show the leather sheath that is provided. Approximately 6 inch blade, 12 inches overall length.

A little background on this knife. The base knife was manufactured by Case & Sons Cutlery Company (CASE XX model 337-6″Q). CASE Quartermasters are pretty scarce since the vast majority of them were made by Cattaraugus – a nice find! The Quartermaster was modeled as a heavy utility knife designed to open ammo boxes, cargo crates and hammer down nails if needed. Quartermasters were very popular with the troops and saw action in every major World War 2 theater. This exact type is illustrated on page 88 of KNIVES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WORLD WAR II book by Michael W Silvey – a well-established expert an author of many books on the subject of US military edged weapons.
I'm asking $150 shipped in the Continental U.S. I prefer payment via PayPal F&F. $155 if payment via PayPal G&S. Claim the knife in comments, PM me to work out payment detail. Thank you for reading this post. I appreciate your support.
UPDATE: CASE QUARTERMASTER SOLD
