1 U.S. World War 2 Pacific theater identified Mark 1 fighting knife.  This knife has it all--ship identification, theaters of operation, even a matchbook cover from the ship.  This knife would make an important addition to any collection.

This is a Ka-bar Mark 1 fighting knife.  The blade measures 5".  

This knife is fully identified (and then some) on the sheath.  At the top it reads 'U.S.N.  DD669  9-1945'.  DD669 was the U.S.S. Cotten--a Fletcher class Destroyer.  

Below that it is marked with all of its Pacific theaters of operation.  Locations that I can make out just at a glance are Wake Island, Iwo Jima, Leyte, Okinawa, Philippines, Eniwetok, Saipan, and the list goes on.  

This knife is in exceptional condition.
