I'd say maybe an older repro F/S knife.

Wondering what time period it was produced. Was told it was a PX knife possibly used in Vietnam erra

It is a mix of an F/S and a Marine Raider stiletto.
I would say around mid 80's and could likely be purchased at any militaria store.

Thanks for the information. I really think this maybe earlier but can't remember. I use to work in a gun shop in the early 70's and remember selling allot of knives to guys going to Vietnam. Remember an aluminum handle M 1918 knife, brass handle M 1918 some Kabars and I believe a knife just like this one. We also had Gerber mk 2, western bowies and Valor Gerber copies. Just was hoping someone may have some concrete info on this one.
