Description

This is a circa World War 2 United States Navy standard diving knife typically used on conjunction with the Mark V diving helmet. This example does not have any manufacturers names on the brass sheath or stainless-steel blade. The brass sheath is somewhat atypical with a thicker body towards the top. The leather belt strap and buckle are present. The wood handle is in nice condition. The tip of the blade has been removed, possibly for sponge or abalone diving purposes.
