Description:
Issued to Medical corpsmen, this simple knife was intended to aid in clearing brush, cutting branches for stretchers, etc. It could also be a handy last-ditch defensive weapon. A simple, robust tool, these are made with wood grips riveted to the tang of the wide, flaring blade that has a lower cutting edge, rounded cutting point and back edge. This knife is in very good condition and has been fully Nickel-plated, both blade and pins, tang. There is some finish peeling on the knife edge and a few spots of discoloration. I was unable to find another like it. Stamped on the reverse, "U.S.M.C/ CHATILLON, N.Y." The wood grips are very good, medium in color, with just average light handling marks. The scabbard is a deep russet color and has the metal throat reinforcement in place as well as the grommet at the tip. The reverse is very clearly marked "USMC / BOYT / 42" on the chape holding the belt hook, indicating it was made in 1942 .;
