No comment on the knife, I’ll leave the to the experts-

 

But for the scabbard, it should be easy enough to date, I should have a chart somewhere but I’ll have to look.

 

Update: managed to find it, only an approximate range but it’s a start.

The knife is WWII. There was a light grey, "Bonderized" blade finish and a dark Parkerized blade finish variation. Both variations blade marked "KA-BAR" on one side only. Bonderized variation shown in pictures. These WWII KA-BAR variations are sometimes called "blank blades".

I concur, it is a legit WW2.  SKIP

Nice KA-BAR. Probably glad your wife pulled you into that shop.
