Genuine WWII US Army LC-14-B knife, of the Woodman's Pal type manufactured by The Victor Tool Co.
This multi-purpose tool, based on a civilian machete initially designed for lumberjacks, was created by Frederick Ehrsam in 1941; the tip of the single-edge, concave blade features a hooked beak curved backwards, intended for delimbing; the grip is made up of stacked leather washers and protected by a hand guard.
The present knife is in very good overall condition and comes in its original heavy duty canvas sheath (Talon zipper is in working order despite the damaged stitching) along with all accessories: sharpening stone, emergency kit (a line with two hooks) and three manuals -- Care, Use and Sharpening (1942), Living in the Jungle (1943), and Fighting (1942).
