Ah, the very knife I'm looking for information on. Mine was recovered from the bilge. I've cleaned it up and developed the edge. I think the mark was used 1955 to 1965.
Thank Paul! Well there you go, the best info we could get. Right from Ka Bar!
Ralph,
This is a KA-BAR Rope Knife. It came in two variations.
1) Had the knife and a separate steel marlinspike with a leather sheath
2) In addition to the spike, the deluxe "Yachtsman" Version also had a pliers with an adjustable wrench on one leg. All in a bigger sheath.
They were built around the 1960s-78 give or take a few years.
Hope this helps.
Paul
