WWII era knife questions

[harrydog]

I have a Camillus US Navy knife that my uncle used during WWII. I'm wondering how good the metallurgy was on these knives. Is it tough? Hardness? What type of steel is it? Did they do a good job with the heat treat way back then?

No one knows (or cares)?

Some of the old pros like Tom Williams (Camco) would know. If you can, put up a picture.
