WW11 US NavyPilots Knife

[r redden]

So I was out and about today and came across this WW11 Colonial Pilots Survival Knife. She is in really great condition except that the saw blade is broken. It is a big knife 6 inches closed 4 1/2 inch blade with a liner lock. I found it quite interesting. That's all the info I have on the knife so anything you guys or gals may know would be appreciated also if anyone might have an original equiptment saw blade for it I would be in the market for one
