    At the encouragement of sh4pak, I will be photographing our (Dad and I) knife collection over the next bit and posting them here on the forum. I didn't think there'd be much interest in knives since this is mainly a camo forum, but since IACMC encompasses all eras and all militaria, I figured I'd go ahead and post a few knives. Very Happy

    This knife belongs to my dad and he picked this one up last wekeend at a gun show. The blade is stamped USMC on one side and Ka-Bar on the other. The hanlde has been replaced with some kind of wood. The cross guard and butt have been replaced with what appears to be brass.

    I think the coolest part of this knife is that the butt has a stylized eagle on it. Very well used knife that I'm sure could tell a few stories if it could talk.

    If anyone needs clearer pictures, I can take some more in the sunlight tomorrow. Thanks

    Hey Arch, I'm with you: this is a militaria forum and even if it specialises in camo uniforms, we can and should post other stuff. Sometimes you don't know what you want til you see it ! Smile

    Please [post away as I for one am very interested to see what other stuff you've got Very Happy
