The U.S. Marine Raider stiletto was designed for one purpose: killing the enemy, and its design was not compromised. The stiletto was a finely designed, almost delicate, single-purpose weapon.The U.S. Marine Raider stiletto is a collectible knife for a number of reasons. It was one of the first Marine-designed and Marine-issued knives. It was issued to a special unit. The Raider stiletto was also issued to the Marines of the 1st Raider battalion, who found the Raider stiletto to be well designed for silent killing, but was of little use for any other purpose, and too frail for general utility tasks.
This stiletto is in original condition as it was when my Dad brought it back from WWII. It has not been cleaned, sharpened, or altered in any way. The name \"BUCKY\" is carved on the sheath. (The Raiders usually marked them with their name or initials). This is apparently a RARE item. Not many in this condition.
