Post; Unknown Marine Knife


Okay, so Christmas came very late this year. I got a gift from my wife's Grandparents. I know pretty much nothing about this knife. Its definitely a high-carb blade and it looks like a very good one. The old scabbard that came with it has the Marine Corps insignia on it, so its probably a fair guess that this was owned by a Marine. I asked my wife's Grandpa about it and he knows next to nothing about it except that its pretty old and he thinks it's either from WW1 or WW2. He got it from a brother or cousin who supposedly bought it off a Marine a long long time ago ... so all information about the thing is third-hand. Anyone know anything about it???


The knife can be broken down. Take the screw off the bottom, take out the blade and you've got a set of brass knuckles.

Anyways, I'm very curious if anyone can tell me something more about this knife. Thanks in advance!!
