I collect a few Marbles, western, Case, Cattaraugus and Pal Cutlery knives, only have two kinfolks knives. I got this one about 6 years ago because it seemed similar to the western 46-5 but could be had for cheaper than what the Sharks were going for. I don’t know much about it, does anyone know the model number or approximate age? 6in blade, I. Assumed it may be WW II military knife or maybe later.

WW2 era, but not an issue knife. these were private purchase knives available in PX stores on bases. They were available in 5" or 6" blade lengths.

You're most welcome!. The one to watch out for is the 6" blade model without a fuller. They are fairly rare and worth more than twice as much as the fullered versions.
