Well done young man! Great resto, and much better video than the last combat knife you did. I thought you did a great, full resto here and I love the end result!

This knife version is a U.S. Navy MK I made by Geneva Forge, not a MK II which were made by Union Cutlery under the Ka-bar name and by Camillus Knife Co.. My MK I is complete with the gray colored fiberglass sheath as opposed to the army olive green colored sheath. My knife belonged to an uncle of mine who served in the navy during WWII. Since naval personnel typically shoot at you with, say, a battleship, they had no great use for bayonets. Someone on Shore Patrol could still need a combat knife, and these filled that purpose. They also served for utility use such as for cutting line or rope. The leather would have been dry stacked, no glue. And the addition of the copper shim was unnecessary. The value of the knife was probably not enhanced by these additions. Plus the original handles included some colored layers, black, red, and white I think, on both ends. My handle is uni-colored after 80 plus years.

Great job! My brother carried a knife like that when he flew missions as a naval aviator over Vietnam.

I'm not expert on KA-BAR's so please don't take my word as anything approaching Bible, but a video about KA-BAR'S I watched recently makes me think you may have something extra special here. The US Navy had it's own version that I guess sailors carried and this looks like one, possibly. First off I hollered at the screen when you straightened the guard. "Noooooo!". I'm sure you heard me all the way in Wisconsin lol....but the rest of it is just beautiful! I was surprised by the knife having an aluminum pommel (with a pewter support stud!) But Navy folks back in WW2 apparently customized blades for themselves AND Marines, so it's probably not uncommon to find some weirdly configured Kabar knives out in the wild. You found a gem and I am grateful that you restored it rather than let it rot and rust away. I doff my hat to you, sir!

Also, DON'T STRAIGHTEN THE GUARD!. I said it and I'm not taking it back lol

Kabars are Mark 2 knives. This was a USN Mark 1 knife, a utility knife in WWII.

You got a thumbs down as soon as you started gluing the leather disks for the handle. It's entirely obvious that you knew that the original leather disks were NOT glued. Sloppy, shoddy work. 👎

A little ignorance goes a long way to diminishing the value of an historical object. More research required before you attempt restoration in future. Nice refurbishment though.
