Thank you very much, my friend!Brass was in limited supply but was still used. Camillus did have a supply from before the war and some WW2 issue knives had brass liners, especially those made early on.
It looks like it has a 4 line stamp, which points to mid 1940s at the latest.
Its military issue as its marked USN.
The mark is stamped into the wood. Before May 1942, the govt spec had the marking stamped into a shield. Afterwards, the shield was dropped and the marking was stamped directly into the handle.
He makes some beautiful knives.One from Bruce Barnett today...

You to buddy!Good morning all, hope you are going to have a good day.
Well matched pair of knives!
Man these ones are so cool!
Thanks David.You to buddy!
Well matched pair of knives!
Thanks for the laugh Mr.P.Maybe not ...... but you're probably right.
On the other hand she might be getting knife fever and now that you posted two pics on Blade Forums of her handy work, she might get star struck !
....... but you're probably right.
and then again, she might be online at this moment putting her order in for a new Kroo folder and a Wilfred Works example ....... for her next trip.
........ but probably not.
or she might be signing up for membership on Blade Forums, at this moment ............. but probably not.
It could be that a year from now, nobody on the totin' thread wants to follow her post of delicious foods and stunning knives. I might have to post in the PM.
......... but probably not.
She may be shopping for an expensive camera and lens for her food and knives pics, ........... but probably not.
Hopefully, for your sake, and possibly ours, she was only mocking her husband.
Those two go together like caramel and chocolate ........ stunning !![]()
