Is anyone making reproductions of the m1880 Hunting Knife? I've googled it, and haven't had any luck. Thanks,

I wonder if we can get a good photo of one of those up here?

Anyone have one?

The best photos I've seen for a while are on Ken McPheeters Antique Militaria page.

Perhaps with his permission some of his photos could be posted.

Dixie Gun Works used to catalog a very similar item, but it may have been the Hospital Corps knife, which is very similar, IIRC. Was the M1880 actually issued to foragers/hunters? It looks like it might be easier to skin a deer with a sharp spatula.
