This is a quality reproduction of the WW2 German Boot Knife. These knives were made in a wide variety of styles most of which vary in design, this is a fathful copy of the Puma brand knife. These feature a single edged 5.25" steel blade, wood grips, and spring clasp for attachment to a boot or belt. Yes the scabbards will fit an original knife but we are only selling these as complete sets. The blades are sharpened and not soft these will hold an edge well and can be resharpened over the years.
