KASTAUFFER Posted August 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2014 I just posted his medals here: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/217795-unusual-usn-good-conduct-medal-group-to-pearl-harbor-survivor/?p=1718341 This knife was made by a US Navy Chief in WWII who served on the USS Whitney during the Pearl Harbor attack. He later became a Warrant Officer. The pommel screws off. To me the knife looks hand made, but your comments are welcome! Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted August 23, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 23, 2014 Very nice knife; the blade has the appearance of a Mark 1 type knife; not unusual for an existing knife to be reworked if the handle was beat up or just if the SM wanted to make it personal.

Patchcollector Posted August 23, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 23, 2014 Cool knife!Some of the "handmades" I've seen seem to be more "eye candy" than practical.This one is handsome and looks "all business" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
