<p>Thanks Elbin</p>
<p>This knife is basic same design as the WW2 knives it is much smaller,blade at 3.25"and handle at 3.25"</p>
<p>I saw a WW2 trench knife by Camillus that was very close but pommel cap not flat on one side</p>
<p>You got me with Marine killer Being old and blind I got a bigger magnifying glass and what is really says is</p>
<p>Mirinda Kelly . With more blurred writing underneath</p>

<p>This is from Bruce's original discussion in the Ka-Bar Group:</p>
<p>Small K-Bar I found at junk shop for $7.00 had a loose pommel and missing 3 washers,replaced washers and reset handle</p>
<p>The original sheath has a ladies name on it "Marina Kelly " I know nothing about her or the knife. It is a small very well made knife .Perfect for a lady</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hence forth I believe we should call this Q&A "The Marina Kelly Ka-Bar"</p>
