An Original Robbins & Dudley Push Dagger Combat Knife
This is very nice example of a Robbins & Dudley aluminum handle knuckle push dagger style knife with period scabbard. This unusual fighting knife was made for stabbing from behind and not knife fighting. The blade is oriented horizontal to the ground when held. The cast on aluminum handle has a pistol grip style which is molded to the way your fingers wrap around it. It has a steel rounded knuckle bow designed to cover the last three fingers only. The blade is double-edged, with two fullers on each side. It measures 6-1/4 inches long overall (tip to back of grip).
