WW2 Robeson Shuredge USN MK2 fighting knife, early blade-marked type; original navy-gray early 1945 NORD composition scabbard. Great overall condition, considering the age.
Original WW2 era famous US Navy Mark 2 “Ka-Bar” fighting knife (the link is a courtesy of Wikipedia) manufactured by Robeson Cutlery Company (marked ROBESON SHUREDGE on ricasso) with original “navy-gray” NORD composition scabbard. This is an early production blade-marked type; it’s a bit used but it is still in solid working condition still. 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. No dings or edge nicks the blade, the tip is intact; thick round hammer-like iron pommel is tight with no play. The blade has been re-sharpened and it is razor-sharp still; the tip is intact; some minor pitting near the tip is noted for accuracy. Stacked leather washes and hammer-like round pommel handle; the cross guard and leather washers are tight with no play. Original Navy-gray NORD composition scabbard was made by Beckwith Manufacturing Co. division of Victory Plastics (VP). Production numbers on the back indicate March 1945 delivery to the Navy. Original “navy-gray” finish; some scratches and a thin crack near the tip are noted for accuracy. The webbing and keeper are work but fully serviceable. This original WW2 Robeson Shuredge USN MK2 fighting knife is in 100% serviceable condition still; with proper care it will last another 85 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 Shuredge USN 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 😉
