Handle is a black composite with checkering.

Blade is carbon steel with a chrome plating, mirror finish. There is some surface rubs and scratching, no signs of it ever being sharpened. Bevel edge on one side of the blade, hole for hanging. Stamp shown. Blade is approximately 1 & 7/8 inches wide and 1/8 inches thick.

I have no way of dating these or know of any records, but do know this is the same stamp used on their military 225Q used in WW2.
