OSS Stiletto Fighting Knife – “Pancake Flipper”

This particular example is believed to have been produced by Landers, Frary, and Clark of New Britain, CT. The sharp steel blade on this piece is exceptional, and retains approximately 98% of its original bluing. The stippled brass grip retains loads of original blackening, with some light wear to the pommel area revealing some bare brass that has taken on a deep patina over time. The scabbard and “pancake flipper”-style belt loop fittings retain approximately 98% of their original olive drab paint, and show only light, honest wear.

OSS Stiletto Fighting Knife, known as the “Pancake Flipper,” is a rare knife produced between 1942 – 1943. This was made for behind the front line members of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). The initial production order was for only 10,000 knives, and these are very seldom encountered today. The OSS Stiletto Fighting Knife was designed off the British Fairbanks & Sykes Fighting Knife.
