I don't see much current selling activity on here so not sure how this will work, but......I have many US military knives I need to sell. I don't want my wife to have to deal with these after I am gone, so want to be proactive here and see if there is any interest in any of my Mk2's, Quartermasters, or JPSK's. I can post pics and info if anyone is interested. Thanks. See More

"Do you have any photos? I would be very interested in seeing them. :)
Those are neat knives.
I cleaned one up a while ago. No real restoration to it, Just a bit of a cleaning is all. Mine had the original sheath and…"
