Bring Back from the Philippines

[Pep]

HI,

This was brought back from a returning vet in 1946.

He was in the 96 inf div in a unit I am told was called the "Dead Eyes"

Has anyone an idea what this is?  Combat knife or just souvenir?

thanks,

Pep

• Looks sort of light duty for a combat knife but a lot of the native made Philippine knives seem light. Nice knife in any event
