Original WW2 era famous US Navy Mark 2 “Ka-Bar” fighting knife (the link is a courtesy of Wikipedia) manufactured by Robeson Cutlery Company (stamped R.C.C. on the guard) with original “navy-gray” 1944 NORD composition scabbard. 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 MK2 is about 12″ / 30.5 cm overall; the blade is about 6-7/8″ / 17.5 cm. Used, but in better than average condition for the type – no pitting, spine dings, or edge nicks. The blade has been polished and re-sharpened; it is razor-sharp still; the tip is intact. Stacked leather washes and hammer-like round pommel handle; all parts are tight. Original NORD composition scabbard by Beckwith Manufacturing; production numbers on the back indicate July 1944 delivery to the Navy. Original “navy-gray” finish on plastic; no big dents or chips; webbing is great. Leather leg tie is still attached; this scabbard is in excellent overall condition, considering the age. These are the actual photos. This original WW2 Robeson MK2 fighting knife is in 100% serviceable condition still; with proper care it will last another 80 years 😉
During the war most of MK2s were used in the field as intended and most were worked to death; these mid-war MK2s are hard to find in better grades. This attractive WW2 Robeson 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; spent brass is not included with the knife 😉
