A little history on the knives
Kershaw's "Original" Golden Eagle Bayonet Dagger
Originally manufactured by the world famous cutlers of Solingen , Germany , this striking bayonet dagger was designed as a ceremonial weapon for the German military. In the late 1930's the government confiscated the forging dies, equipment, and even the drawings used for the golden eagle, so that it's factories can be converted to support the pre war build up of aircraft and ship parts.
After the war, British occupational forces seized the warehouses which held the golden eagle's tooling. As the years passed, the golden eagle was lost to time and the ravages of war. The tooling was rediscovered and released in 1988, when it became available to Kershaw Knives for our limited edition of 5000 Knives. Thus, Kershaw's golden eagle bayonet dagger is not a reproduction, but truly an authentic recreation of the original work made with the rediscovered tooling, and once again hand forged and finished by the master craftsmen of Solingen , Germany .
Its full tang blade is forged of the highest quality stainless steel, serial numbered, and then mirror polished before the "Golden Eagle" identification is engraved and gold filled. The decorative eagles head and guard are cast in brass as a single piece and fitted with black micarta scales. With precision manufacturing and meticulous care, Kershaw limited edition Golden eagle Bayonet dagger is indeed a masterful recreation of a remarkable pre World War 2 German ceremonial knife.
