help identifying an old(?) SIMONDS knife blade

[stormy76]

My father passed last Veterans day, & in the process of going through his possessions I came across a partially finished- broken -knife with the markings "SIMONDS"
101YPDENUM. the blade is 6 7/8" long to hand guard, & remaining shank is only 2" long- hence the broken statement. The blade itself is only about 1/16" thick & shank appears to be either brass or copper, has small amount of green oxidation on exposed shank. My father was in the Navy during WW2 & Korea, and my thinking is the knife was probably made aboard ship possibly during Korean War, as what is left of handle appears to be "stacked" pieces of aluminum about 3/16" thick & what appears to be clear hard plastic 1/8" thick. I am unable to add photo- old guy with limited skill's.
If anyone could shed some light for me it would be greatly appreciated. Would there be knife maker in the Denver, Co area that could help with ID ? Again any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Stormy76

Sorry you haven't had a response to your questions. I understand limited computer skills being an old guy myself, but the knowledgeable experts that frequent this forum will really benefit from clear detailed pictures of knife including legible closeups of the markups. Find a 10 year old kid to show you how to post pictures here.

P.S. Was he on an aircraft carrier? I've hear of knives made on ship from parts of planes, i.e., the clear plastic could be from a broken aircraft window and the aluminum from a strut or other part. Is the blade possibly brass or copper or just the tang? Again, good pictures are essential, but I'm guessing someone made this knife in their spare time.
