Just pix of knives

My Pilot Knives, WWII - Vietnam (or thereabouts)
NOTE: The shiny-handled one, 5th up from the bottom on the left, is actually a pre-WWII Case "Match-Safe" knife complete with hollow handle and compass.

Part of my USN Mark I collection: All of the Colonial Mark I variations plus three "clear-handled" prototypes and one current reproduction (bottom right)

And here's one I've been scratching my head over for some time. The handle looks to be from an M7 bayonet, but the pommel, guard and flat-ground blade are mysteries.

[EDIT] I was relying on the pic, taken 'way back when. Now that I'm actually holding it in my hand, I see that the blade is saber-ground.
