Ancient Pilot's Knife?

[AunSlaught]

I have a knife that I got from an Air Force pilot many years ago. It has two blades. One is a "hook" blade with the edge inside the hook for cutting paracord. The other blade is a standard clip point with CAMILLUS/New York/USA stamped on it. This blade is a switch type blade. The handle is made of bright orange/red plastic with a stag type handle texture. It also has a slide locking/safety mechanism. If anyone can help me identify and set a value to this item I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Welcome to Blade Forums! What you have is what is commonly called an MC-1. These are made by Camillus under contract for the Government. They are still making them today. As far as a value goes, I would say about $35-$70 depending on condition. Very ballpark figure. Hope this helps you. You might want to try Bernard Levine's site under the General catagory, too.
