HISTORY: The M-1904 Hospital Corps Knife was Designed for use by the U. S. Army Medical Corps. Over 40,000 Hospital Corps Knives were made at the Springfield Armory, Springfield, MA between 1904 and 1914. Like all of the “bolo” knives, these were heavy knives intended for use both as brush clearing devices, as well as weapons. It was designed to aid US soldiers with jungle foliage that they found themselves in with incursions into Cuba and the Philippines, where natives used similar sized machetes.
Knife does come with a leather sheath that is reinforced with a brass around the opening. (See Video below) .
