Ron/Bill, that surely doesn't look much like stainless ... though stainless steel of the late '38-'45 time period may not have been high quality. Even the "patina" color of the blade looks more like old car-spring steel (carbon), though the handle still looks like it has some bright areas. I think only a destructive metallurgy test would tell though...
