Theater Knives, 6 pics inside, more pics wanted

[oregon]

New to me: 12.5 inch overall, just under 6 ounces, thin flexible carbon steel blade, lucite stacked handle, aluminum end cap, filet knife from WWII era, probably made in the machine shop of a US Naval ship by a service man. Thank you for your service and happy Memorial Day.

Love the bright colors in the handle. A departure from the dark tactical colors often seen today. I just cleaned it and I'm thinking about sharpening and using in the kitchen. No dishwashing. Uh uh.

Now that is a beauty! Very reminiscent of a Buck knife of the era.

Thank you for the kind words A.P.F.

Hoyt Buck is a hero of mine. This style of knife could have been an inspiration for him.
