I don't think the Sheath's belonged to the knives . and they both need some restoration .dose any body know anything about the knives ? I would be greatfull for any information you can give me

my guess, Ibberson sailors knives,
second sheath looks original,first something home made

Just for the fun on it I tried to look up the NSN on that one knife (5110-99-437-5839). I am not good at this type of thing though and all I found was it was a sheath knife lol. hopefully someone will come along that can shed more light on the subject.

Edited just to note this was my 100th post

The second knife and sheath are very similar to one shown in Plate 193 of Ron Flook's British and Commonwealth Military Knives.

He says this pattern of Royal Navy Deck Knife is "used when undertaking seaman-type duties such as working with ropes". Designated Knife, Sheath, Pattern Number 0274/437-5839, it replaced an earlier version "about 1970".
"Also frequently used by the RN as a deck knife is 'Knife, Riggers 0274/910-5291'. How long this knife has been in service is not known but examples from the 1950s have been identified. Several manufacturers have been involved, each introducing slight changes in quality and style."

Think you nailed it Berkley. When you Google the Riggers knife it's a good match. Good score R.c.s

I like the look of the Ibberson fixed blade, Stan Shaws upbringing in the knife world company, if you don't mind I would love to see more of that knife please!

Great finds :thumbup:

Jack Adams still produces a version of the second knife I think.
