Lot 1016:
U.S. Navy MK3 MOD 0 Combat / Diving Knife with Matching Scabbard; The MK 3 MOD 0 Combat/Diving Knife is a multi-purpose fixed blade fighting knife. Manufactured by Ontario Knife company. This knife is issued to U.S. Navy SEALs during BUD/S training and is also used by Reconnaissance Marines at the Combatant Divers Course in Panama City, Florida. The MK 3 is capable of serving as a Dive knife, Fighting knife, or Utility knife. There is a striking butt that can be used for hammering, a serrated saw edge on the spine, as well the ability to pry with the thickness of the blade. The US Navy chose 440 Stainless Steel for the blade material with a hardness rating of 49-54 HRC for two reasons. One being the corrosive resistant of stainless steel and the other being it?s a cost-effective metal to mass produce. Another benefit would be the simplicity of sharpening in the field. The Black Oxide finish would also facilitate in protecting the blade from rusting. NSN#: 1095-00-391-1056
