I'm new to this, so please be patient. I have a knife here, suspect it is a sailors knife issued to either US or British troops in WWII.
It is a folder with black composition handles, has a hinged marlin(?) spike mounted externally on the knife frame. There is a blade, plus another "blade" that looks like a can opener, but can't logically be; it must be some use-specific blade, and it reminds me of a wire-stripper. Resembles a rather beefy fork, but the inside tines are reasonably sharp, like a can-opener might be. This blade is marked with a symbol that looks like an arrow, or a right angle bisected. Then we find "1943' over "Richards" over "Sheffield" Can anyone tell me what this might be, and if it has any collectors appeal? Thanks all, in advance.

. People who have used that type actually say it perform's well. There might also be a little projection from the middle liner that is used as a screw driver(Some have them, some Don't).
