Thank you, c-57...
I thought it was interesting to see that it's in this photo from the 1941 L.L. Bean catalog -just left of the KA-BAR T29 fisherman's knife in the pic.
It appears to have originally come with a leather case.

I spy a few other KA-BAR built-for-Bean knives I wouldn't mind coming across!
