Thanks for the offer to help but I am going to be listing the knife in my store and maybe the new owner will do it. Below is a Link to another Miller knife.

Well, as usual, I'm late getting to another great thread.

Here are some Robeson WWII straight knives that I used to own. I sold them all on Ebay last winter.

First is an unused Navy Mark II.

Second is an Army marked knife.

Third is a Navy Mark I.

Fourth is a USMC marked knife. This knife was an incomplete restoration that had a great blued blade. I sold it to a Marine vet that can redo the restoration work. He was pleased to get it.

I had and sold a very nice blade marked, but not dated, M-3, but I cannot find the photos. I must have deleted them. It was the first one I sold.

Hi Bob: I think you mentioned a Remington circle straight line stamp that I had. I thing I traded it to Phil(Great Scout) a couple of years ago.Good to hear from you.
Charlie: Those are really great Knives. My latest acquisitions are an early pinned round tang Robeson, it and the sheath marked USN Mark 2, A KA-BAR USMC and a Pal RH 36 utility knife. The Robeson is in excellent condition. The utility and the KA-BAR are the only original leather sheaths I have. Currently I can only fill one of the Holsters with a 1911, still looking for three more.

I do not have the bottom piece, I wish I did. A few years ago there were some reproduction sheaths on the market. I should have bought a few. They were very close to the original.

I have yet to find one of these knives with an intact original sheath. Do you know where I can find one?

M.B.
ive been looking at one with the orignal holster i was just woundering on the price can any body give me a guesstament on how much it would be worth its a lf&c dated 1917 with orignal holster in pretty good shape ill see if i can get a pic and post it later the seller wants $450 for it but is it worth that

If it is an original and in excellent condition with the scabbard, I would say it is easily worth that much ::nod:: ::tu::

You guys have put up some really nice knives. Thank you for posting them.
Here's a few of mine. I had them in a display for a show. The Boker M-1 was my Fathers from WW2. He served on the USS Lake Champlain late in the war. His service before that is unknown. The Case XX Bowie is Post war.

Re: (price for 1917, The sheath alone could be valued up to a couple of hundred possibly)
That being said, asking prices are just that. Ask if he would consider an offer. Never hurts.

Thanks for posting those pictures of your sheaths! I have a Catt 225Q with the exact same sheath but didn't know if it was original or not.


wasu013, you don't happen to have an extra one of those folding machete blade protectors kicking around do you? I bought a Cattaraugus but it didn't come with one. Thanks for any info you have! ::nod::


I see those WWI trench knives selling at auction from time to time and they are usually out of my price range. Might have to bite the bullet sometime and pick one up but I'm afraid of repros.


Beautiful knives everyone ! ! ! ! ::groove::

Sorry Red, the guard was the first thing that was tossed when you were issued one. If I find one I'll pick it up and let you know. Maybe you could buy a wreck like the one linked below then sell the machette for whatever you can get?

A couple more, both Mk 2 one in leather, a Utica one in hard fiber, a guard marked Ka Bar USN Mk2. The Utica has one of the nicest leather sheaths that I have. It has a dagger look to it.
