The V-42 Stiletto, originally built by Case in 1942, was initially issued to “The Devil’s Brigade,” the First Special Service Force led by U.S. Army Colonel Robert T. Fredrick, in WWII. The V-42 Stiletto has become a symbol of WWII soldiers, found on the Regimental Crests, unit shoulder patches and other Distinctive Insignias of the U.S. and Canadian Army Special Forces. After 70 years, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company unveiled their “faithfully true” replica of the V-42 Stiletto today at the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor (SHOT) trade show in Las Vegas. This project was first requested by The Special Forces Association Montana Chapter 28, as well as the vintage knife community as a whole. The knife closely resembles the original museum piece with a double-concave blade and its signature line along the length of the blade. Case is notorious for its attention to detail, and the new reproduction V-42 Stiletto will have the original thumb-print on the knife’s ricasso, which historically helped the soldier direct the blade with a better grip. It will have the original soft leather handle, will be 12 and a half inches long and weigh seven ounces. The knife, like the original, will come with a genuine leather sheath. As with all natural material color and texture may vary. Made in the USA.
