Sorry to tell you but you got ripped off. Being the nice guy that I am though I will give you back your quarter and you can just send me the knife. I hate to see anyone get taken advantage of ;D
 

That fella looks well used and oft sharpened. Nice for a quarter I would have bought that at twice the price.
Here's mine:

That's a nice older Ka-Bar hunting/utility knife. They sell for $25.00 plus at the flea markets around me. Probably more on E-Bay. Congratulations.
 

That pattern was originally a MARVEL from the 30's It is still made today by various mfg.
 

You have an old Marine Corps K-Bar and it is the real deal worth some bucks these were used in WW2.

Minetres
 

Minetre is correct. Check on the opposite side of the blade from the K-Bar Logo. It may have the year it was made. I have a Navy K-Bar from WW2, it's stamped 1942. I carried it with me during my 2 tours in Iraq.

New ones sell from $50-75 around Ft Bragg.

Good Fine.
