siclfde Posted December 23, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2016 Picked this up on eBay. Pretty common - right. But check out the sheath. Have never seen one with a Kennedy sheath. (see post 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermut99 Posted December 23, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2016 Were these issued/used by military personnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillus Posted December 23, 2016 Share #4 Posted December 23, 2016 I don't think they were issued but could be bought privately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw517 Posted December 23, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2016 The leather looks pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siclfde Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted December 23, 2016 Were these issued/used by military personnel? Think they were a PX item back in the day. Doubt if they were issued. The Kennedy marking is from the Minnesota firm that was a knife maker & retailer in WWII. The marking is the same as on his fighting knife scabbards.

doyler Posted December 23, 2016 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2016 Agreed Very Nice piece Kennedy was a private maker there was also Moore from St.Paul and Im sure other unknowns who produced knives that were not well known or marketed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nifman Posted December 24, 2016 Share #8 Posted December 24, 2016 I had a set of three in a leather roll but the leather was not marked. Dennis aka nifman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siclfde Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted December 24, 2016 Thought I'd throw in a couple pics of the marking on the regular Kennedy sheath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groserm Posted February 3, 2017 Share #11 Posted February 3, 2017 Definetly a little different with the Kennedy markings and KnifeCrafters markings. I have three sets a single one like this, another that is a set of three and the stainless steel versions. They all say KnifeCrafters. One set the Knife Crafters insignia on the blade is a little different. Maybe they had other companies help manufacture some of their sheaths or even the knives.
