U.S. WW2 Marine Corps Hospital Corps Knife - High Quality Reproduction

High Quality Reproduction of the Hospital Corps Knife was originally a tool issued to U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsmen, the enlisted medical personnel of the Marine Corps.

U.S.M.C. Broad, non-tapering chopping blade swelling towards the point, with round tip and false edge, 11 3/8 inches long, 16½ inches overall. Thick wood scale grips secured by three brass rivets to the exposed tang. Brown leather scabbard with brass throat piece, webbing hooks and grommet hole at the chape.

This model is sometimes called a ‘bolo’, but it was never officially referred to as such and its design owes more to its Hospital Knife and Machete predecessors than to the M1909 or M1910 bolo knives produced at Springfield for the US Army.
