Mk2 USN Camillus

Picked this one up at the Great Lakes Knife Show yesterday... It's in pretty nice shape. The sheath has PT234 scribed in it. That PT boat saw action from 1943-1945, mostly in the Philippine Islands. The bored sailor tied a nice lanyard onto the sheath.

That one is really cool!

It really is! I added the picture of the PT-234 Higgins boat I found last night. I was reading up on their combat record. It's really fascinating when you can tie an artifact (this knife) to a particular time and place. In my mind, that's what makes it really cool!

Yessir makes it even better.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!! What would be great is if you could nail down whose knife it belonged to. I love the stories that go with knives as much as the knives themselves.
I have a couple of military knives that have names and/or numbers on them and have never tried to track down the owners.Sounds like another project lol

Absolutely! That would be great! I haven't been able to find the crew lists for that boat yet. I'll keep looking though.
