Knife, USM3

Perfect replica of the M3 knife, in metal and leather. The regulation M3 knife was introduced in March 1943. The blade bears the markings USM3 and 1943. This knife was used by the whole US Army, but heavily used by all airborne troops. It can be carried with a M6 leather scabbard or a M8 plastic and webbing scabbard.

Scabbard, USM8, for USM3 trench knife

Scabbard, Leather, USM6 for USM3 knife

Reproduction of the USM6 leather scabbard for USMC trench knife. This russet leather sheath is made up of two pieces sewn together and reinforced by rivets and staples. A metal eyelt at the tip allows the scabbard to be secured to the leg. Fastening of the two leather parts is ensured by a strong sewn seam. The sheath features strengthening pieces consisting of two rectangular metal plates, one on each side, fastened by four rivets which help keep together the leather. Metal staples reinforce the mouth of the scabbard; the hilt is to be held in place upon the uppermost part by a leather strap with snap fastener. A flat hook allows the scabbard to be attached to the pistol belt, although it can be fixed to the pants belt -- or to the leg for paratroopers -- thanks to the loop and leather lace. Markings U.S. M6 and 1943 are embossed in the leather along with the US grenade.

This is the finest replica of American paratrooper jump boots on the market, produced by the original manufacturer still active today. Crafted from performance “spit shineable” leather, these boots are unlined for authenticity and feature internal ankle support. The internal gusseted tongue, stitched all the way up the shaft, sits beneath leather laces, while the reinforced back strap and pronounced, durable toe cap give the Corcoran its iconic bean-shaped silhouette. Built on the Garrison Army Munson last for superior fit, they include a PORON® cushioned insole, a ribbed steel shank, and welt construction with a leather midsole. The two-piece sole—black rubber painted brown—is oil-resistant and anti-slip, attached with double stitching and small nails. The beveled heel, also oil-resistant and perforated for shock absorption, adds both grip and comfort. The original manufacturer’s label is sewn at the top of the shaft.
