Re: US knives: What do I have?
Hi Bill. From your photo, There looks like what used to be a groove in the blade
- perhaps it has been almost totally ground off. I've never seen one without
a 'blood groove'. Nice well-used Vietnam era knife.
I have 3 or 4 Jet Pilot knives from the 1980's and one which is an early
commercial model with a non-Parkerized blade. The maker -Camillus-
is stamped on the ricasso. Took them on camping trips until
I realized these are now worth more than the $35 I paid
for each one.........!

Haha! Thats awesome. This one was actually used as a fishing knife before it was given to me.
Thanks for having a look too.... On one side, it does faintly look like it could have had a groove at one time.... Thanks again for the info Steve
