Check out the bk11 it's a neck knife with a very similar blade profile, if I remember right. I suggest wrapping the grip in paracord it make it and the bk 14 much easier to use.

DevilPup,
I just GOOGLED the BK11; now I've gotta go out and buy one.
Someday I will learn to stay away from these knife & gun threads.

Knife and razor guys, whodathunkit?



A few more, the M3 tent peg was a garage sale find. The others from L - R, are a Western L71 USN Seabee repro from the early 90's, Case 223-5, and an Imperial "Jet Pilot" USAF issue.

Don't be, it is a near accidental collection. Most of them are from the last few years when I got serious about it. There are more than a few dumb lucky finds like the mint M3. It was hidden in the bottom of a lot of fishing gear I bought at auction along with the Cattaraugus "Quartermaster" below. Best $20 I've ever bid!

Definitely post them. If your grandfather was Marines or USN, the MK2 is a good bet. Depending on the model the value can be surprising but an heirloom like that is priceless.
