Impressive example of a Theater Made Theater Modified MKI M 1918 Knuckle Knife. We purchased this directly from Greg Aloisio, author of the excellent work Knuckle Knives of the Second World War. While not featured in the book, it was part of his personal collection. The brass handle is from a Landers, Frary & Clark WWI 1918 Mark 1 Trench knife, though it has been altered to the point that the manufacturer cannot be read
