A wonderful and heartwarming video. At 2:17 you can see two Naval aviators with their Western G-46 "shark" knives. My father also flew in TBMs and I still have a couple of his G-46s. I'll try to get a picture today.

AFAIK the files were to keep your nails squared away for inspection!! Not for tuning the points on your model-T!!

Though no doubt they would work on the points ... and for cleaning the spark plugs and perhaps sharpening your fishing hooks, come to that.

A TL-29 and a Utility Knife issued to me while in the U.S. Navy - both by Camillius.

A Camillus Pilot Survival Knife also acquired while in the Navy.

First scuffs on the blade aren't nearly as bad as the lighting makes it look here. Allot of folks are familiar with the pilots survival knife, the fixed blade that is. However on the parachute harness is a small survival kit in which you'll find a folder. For many years it was various brands of a stockman pattern. I learned all this researching why this Kutmaster/Utica had a "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT." Etch.

Here's a better shot of the blade.
Interesting to think of a knife issued in the hopes it would never be deployed. Also I see people on YouTube review the pilots survival knife often talk about it being thick bladed an unstable for finer tasks. Well they're only testing one piece of an entire system that included a knife for finer tasks.

That kit is really cool, though Im betting most people didnt carry their pocketknife in it. That seems like a rather inconvenient pocket slip lol
