Saw this knife in a pawn shop. Is anyone familiar with this type of knife. Only markings are shown in pic. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
No, it looks to be a fighting knife.Is that a bayonet?
Close, but what is the huge plunge line in the blade right in front of the guard? That is what is throwing me.View attachment 131719
This is what I think it should look like before those grips were put on it
I saw that also. No idea why it was altered like that. Not that it resembles it but it made me think of a Kukri and how they have a notch in them. More than likely someone got happy grinding. At first I though it might have been a navy dive knife if it was stainless but I figure with the weird cut in it that it’s been on a grinding and buffing wheel.Close, but what is the huge plunge line in the blade right in front of the guard?
