Oops p, my bad. Didnt see the 6" reference. Definitely not mil survival knife. It looked to me like some body had removed the parkerization.
I was over at my grandpas house looking for some tools and found this old knife. Any info is appreciated. It is 10.5" overall and the blade is 6"

Vietnam Era Type No 4 Knife, better known as the Navy Pilot’s Survival Knife or Jet Pilot’s Survival Knife. The knife was originally designed in 1957 as a joint issue between the Navy Weapons Bureau and the Marbles Arms Company. As originally designed it had a 6”, saw back blade. In 1962, the knife was modified by reducing the blade to 5” in length. The post-1962 knives were produced by the Camillus Cutlery Company and Milpar during the Vietnam Era.
