Vietnam War Conetta MK2 fighting knife, correct “oxblood” leather scabbard included. Scarce type in rare UNUSED condition; hard-to-find this nice nowadays.
A classic Vietnam War era US Navy Mark 2 “Ka-Bar” fighting knife (the link is a courtesy of Wikipedia) manufactured by Conetta Tool and Die Inc. in Stamford, CT, original reddish “oxblood” colored leather scabbard included. Conetta made MK2s for a very short period from 1968 to 1970. Conetta is the only manufacturer to supply their MK2s with the reddish-colored leather scabbards; a scarce type. MK2 is the classic American fighting knife; this type was used in combat in all theaters of WW2 and in virtually every war thereafter. Scarce to begin with, this Conetta MK2 is also in rare unused condition. This type is hard-to-find this nice and complete as most of these MK2s were used as intended during the war.
This MK2 is about 12″ / 30/5 cm overall; blued blade is about 7″ / 17.8 cm long. The original factory edge is razor-sharp; needle-like tip is intact; one minor surface rust spot near the tip is noted for accuracy. Ricasso is sharply stamped U.S. / CONETTA on one side; the guard is unmarked, as intended. Stacked leather washers handle; all washers are tight; the guard and pommel are solid with no play. Round hammer-like iron pommel is near-excellent with no nicks or ding marks. Original reddish “oxblood” leather scabbard is in excellent condition as well. All original stitching, rivets, and keeper are intact; the leather is still soft and supple.
This solid Vietnam War Conetta MK2 fighting knife is in excellent overall condition; don’t miss your chance to add this scarce Vietnam War era fighter to your collection! This attractive Vietnam War Conetta MK2 fighting knife has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way, it is in 100% original “as is” condition. These are the actual photos; Garand clips are not included with the knife 😉
