Original WW2 era famous US Navy Mark 2 “Ka-Bar” fighting knife (the link is a courtesy of Wikipedia) manufactured by Ka-Bar (Union Cutlery) in Olean, NY; this is early issue blade-marked USN specimen. Original “navy-gray” 1943 NORD composition scabbard is included. MK2 is the classic American fighting knife; this type was used in combat in all theaters of WW2 and in virtually every war thereafter. This Mark 2 is about 12″ / 30.5 cm overall; blued blade is about 6-7/8″ / 17.5 cm; ricasso is sharply struck KA-BAR on one side, USN MK2 on the other. The knife is used, but it is in better than average condition for the type – no spine dings or edge nicks the blade or the pommel; a couple of minor surface rust spots on the edge are noted for accuracy. The blade has been lightly re-sharpened; it is razor-sharp still; the tip is intact. Stacked leather washes and hammer-like round pommel handle is solid; all parts are tight.
