Navy Pilot Knife from World War 2. It is a Camillus.

Pic related. It has simply been customized.

My bad for saying it was from the 50s at first. It is from the 40s.

>>785102
I know you should have kept a better eye on it son, it's mine now
>>
>>785249
By the way, >>785254 here, these knives are actually westerns. Mine is stamped western, and you can go online and do a search for vintage western knives and find this one. Camillus bought western eventually, but I think it was in the 90s or something. They must have just been copying eachother before that.

You sure it wasn't a group of them?

Knives made by multiple people are usually chinese.

You're all wrong. That's a Ka-bar.
>>
>>785102
These type of knives were made by several companies in the 50s and 60s, one of the common names was "Buffalo skinner".

>>785145
>>785249
If you look at the blade shape it is obvious that this is not the same knife.
Hell, the only common feature is the stacked leather handle.
>>
>>787461
Looks more like an alahu ack-bar
>>
is that a bowie knife?
>>
>>787487
This.

I had one with a horn handle years ago, gave it to a friends son who hunts way more than I do, he loves it and uses it often I hear.
>>
>>785102
Holy shit I have the exact same knife that my grandpa gave to me
>>
>>787461
Errr, no thanks.
>>
>>785102
You should clean it up a bit anon
>>
>>785102
