U.S. WWII Navy USN Mark 1 Fighting Knife by COLONIAL with Mk1 Scabbard From 1941-1945 American sailors fighting the axis powers needed a knife that was versatile, durable and dependable under difficult weather conditions. The Colonial Mark 1 met and exceeded those requirements for tens of thousands of sailors, who came to regard the Colonial Mark 1 as a trusted and essential all-purpose knife. The Navy MK1 knife was used as both a utility knife and a fighting weapon. While some undoubtedly saw combat, particularly with Naval Aviators, these blades were mostly used for everyday functions aboard ship and ashore. The Mark I knives were Navy issued throughout WW2 and remained in inventory through the Vietnam war. They were purchased in huge quantities so replacements were not needed for many years. The scabbard shows U.S.N. MK 1, the back side of the scabbard shows NORD 4729 and below that is B M Co. VP refer to pictures when bidding and make your own determination of authenticity
