My Recent Aquisitions: USN Survival Knife, British Pocketknife, Pre-WWI Bolo Knife

The second is what's commonly known as a "Clasp knife" and there are many versions of them. I've seen very small ones quite old and very large ones not so old...every thing in between. We still issued a giant one when I joined. It was huge and all but useless...I know men that collect them and have a few dozen. Some have the marlin spike for splicing...

I have one of those, however the main blade is missing, has been since I got it at least. I used to encounter them quite commonly and very few were complete and serviceable.

I have it's replacement too, the C5 knife.

the C5 knife.

Yes, we had them too, made by Camillus. We who knew, bought a Swiss knife and carried on.
