doyler Posted February 18, 2021 Share #5 Posted February 18, 2021 Dont recall seeing that maker before but this reminds me of the type of commercial survival knives that flooded the market afte the Rambo movie. Various types could be mail ordered or bought at surplus stores, gun shows, and sporting goods stores. Even saw them at Kmart and Target. Could one have seen use in the military? Certainly. But with out a chain of custody we wont know for certain. Also the Recon DI looks to have little or no wear opposed to the wear on the scabbard and knife over all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznation Posted February 18, 2021 Share #7 Posted February 18, 2021 The wording marked on the knife looks like INDIANA to me, although I've not been able to find any matches thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that intrigues me is the fact it has a number stenciled on the back which I've seen on military equipment before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted February 19, 2021 Share #10 Posted February 19, 2021 It's made in Italy, INDIANA Maniago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted February 19, 2021 Share #11 Posted February 19, 2021 found this: "Indiana, or Jndiana was a sales company in Maniago that sold the knives of several makers, but did not manufacture knives. The knives they had made with their own logo were marked with the triangle and chiefs head." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
