IN MINT UN-ISSUED CONDITION, WE HAVE A US LATE WW2 ISSUED PARATROOPER M2 SWITCHBLADE KNIFE.  THIS WAS MADE BY SCHRADE, WALDEN NY , STILL ONE OF THE PREMIER AMERICAN POCKET KNIFE MAKERS TO THIS DAY.  THIS IS A VERY HARD KNIFE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION.  THE AIRBORNE TROOPS WERE ISSUED WITH THESE KNIVES IN ORDER TO CUT PARACHUTE SHROUDS WITH JUST ONE HAND.  THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF AIRBORNE EQUIPAGE.
