the bone knife on the bottom{second photo} was made at Bastogne...I don't believe that is a deer bone...the knife mechanic was a member of the 82nd...

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

I see a K-bar in the mix a very nice assortment of blades.

 

[gunsil]

No KA-BARs there, definitely deer antler on the "Bastogne". Phillipino panga, Western or contract by Western, don't know, Schrade Walden "Bowie Hunter" or contract version of same, Marbles, probably Ideal, but can't see if the blade has a fuller, don't know, Puma or look alike. PAL RH36, Theater AU LION "Bastogne", theater knife, Western Black Beauty, Robeson, post 1956 Pilot Survival, Queen.

I have always heard the military knife was a K-bar I guess I learned something thank you.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

What is the knife in the last pic in the sheath as I have one of those without the stone though just interested in knowing what is then if not K-bar. I am not a knife collector so I don't know.

I see a Remington PAL, German Puma Bowie(father in law just gave me one just like that one MAN WHAT A KNIFE!), and a couple other I have seen around, and several look homemade. The one in the very middle looks like a WWI Trench knife... made into a Trench art knife. Is the last one on the furtherst right a homemase Kukri?

If the knife you have isn't marked on the blade and has a 5" blade it should be marked with the maker and date it was made on one of the flats of the hexagon butt. Camillus, Ontario, and Milpar made these knives. If your knife has no marks at all it is probably a copy. KA-BAR never made these pilot survival knives, nor did they make any official Government Issue knives after WW2.

No such thing as a Remington Pal. Remington sold it's knife division to Pal Cutlery Co. in late 1939 or early 1940, and never actually made any knives afterward. Knives such as the one in the photo marked "PAL" were made by PAL and Remington had nothing to do with them. Also Remington never made an RH36 with a cross guard. The long knife is a Phillipine or Indonesian "Panga" style knife, not really all that much like the shorter, fatter, heavier Kukris from India/Nepal

those are called Air force survival knife...they are dated up on the pommel...

the puma look alike is german made...not a puma tang stamp...

ok...the trench knife was given to me as a blade only...I am working on the handle...elk, copper, silver...

not a kukuri...think Philippines, WWII...teak scabbard inside a leather combat cover...air force primer on the blade dates it...plus the American eagle an shield.

gunsil knows his knives...

So did I get them all right except for the two "I don't knows"?? Also the pilot survival knife was actually called a "Jet Pilot Survival Knife" when first designed and many are issued to the navy besides the USAF. I have noticed that a lot of the pilot survival knives will have the flat end of the pommel painted off-white or gray if they were actually flown. I figured right that the German knife might not be a Puma. I'm kind of megalo on fixed blade knives, have around a thousand in my collection. I always buy, sell, and trade so let me know if you have any for sale and/or if there any you are looking for. I only buy near-mint to mint ones these days, unless it is an extremely rare piece. I have a lot of great WW2 U.S. knives available, I don't fool around with the German ones but do like some Brits and Aussie knives. My main area of interest is old KA-BAR hunting knives and most American hunting knives made before 1960 and especially made before WW2

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

the one on the right...metal scale handle...is also a western...does look like an imperial though...
the theater knife is an Nazi army officers blade...someone shaved the etching, plexiglass washers for handle...that is the yellow one...
the guy did better with the blade and pommel, than the plexiglass.

the Robeson is a MKII. fullered blade.
otherwise..correct...

 

[gunsil]

I did say the one on the right was a Western, it was called a"Black Beauty" in the catalog. I believe your Robeson which I also called has a 6" blade and is not a MKII at all. If the blade is 6" it is a PX knife and not a GI knife.

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

I will check..let you know tomorrow...I have the knives at home...

A couple of the grips and ends resemble a Cattaraugus commando knife, but the blade doesn't match mine. A different model, perhaps?
