Theater knife... Maybe from the Bijou Theater

Hi Folks,

Don't know why I bought this, but the price was right and there IS a certain "cool" factor. It's quite hefty, it weighs 1 lb 1 oz., and it is 11 1/4 inches stem to stern. It has stacked leather washers for the grip, and lots of brass. The blade itself is thin, about 1/16 of an inch. Well made and nothing loose. The sheath is poor, but the belt buckle is an interesting feature, lol. Any ideas as to what this is? Thanks for looking.

Very nice knife. These theater/soldier/sailor made knives are always unique and interesting. What suggests a connection with the Bijou Theater? I would have grabbed it.

The Bijou comment was simply a joke, since this knife may have nothing to do with the Pacific Theater of Operations, or the European Theater of Operations. And yes, it is an interesting knife.

That is a stylish knife. I see it as a working knife, possibly a CB's sailor's or other who need a knife for daily work use. I don't see a combat or fighting knife that would have a need for a "quick draw" feature, thus the buckle secures the knife from loss.

Thanks for posting it.
