Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
Yesterday, this "U. S. MARINE CORPS" became the latest MIL-K pattern pocket knife to join my collection. It is an "UNKNOWN", single blade, 3 tool, brass liners pocket knife. It joins my three STEVENSON 45's, a CAMILLUS 1949, a CAMILLUS 1957, two CAMILLUS 1958's, three CAMILLUS 1959's, a CAMILLUS 1960, a SCHRADE 1982 and an ULSTER. I can't find a bail stamp, a tang stamp, or any remains of either. But, I'm 99.999% sure that this is a "KINGSTON." If it is a "KINGSTON", then it is a second pattern, MIL-K pocket knife. It is in GOOD condition and it needed cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
This morning, the latest MIL-K pattern pocket knife to join my collection is this one. It is an Imperial 1976, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. It joins my three STEVENSON 45's, a CAMILLUS 1949, a CAMILLUS 1957, two CAMILLUS 1958's, three CAMILLUS 1959's, a CAMILLUS 1960, a SCHRADE 1982, an ULSTER and a KINGSTON(?) "U.S. MARINE CORPS." All these MIL-K pattern pocket knives have been previously posted. I didn't buy this pocket knife for any particular reason, but I did need a MIL-K pattern from Imperial. It is just one of a three MIL-K pocket knife lot that I bought. The other two have NOT been posted yet. It is in Near Mint condition and it didn't need cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
This afternoon, this MIL-K pattern pocket knife joined my collection. It is a Queen 1986, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. It joins my three STEVENSON 45's, a CAMILLUS 1949, a CAMILLUS 1957, two CAMILLUS 1958's, three CAMILLUS 1959's, a CAMILLUS 1960, a SCHRADE 1982, an ULSTER, a KINGSTON(?) "U.S. MARINE CORPS" and an Imperial 1976. All of these MIL-K pattern pocket knives have been previously posted. I didn't buy this pocket knife for any particular reason, but I did need a MIL-K pattern from Queen. I believe it is actually CAMILLUS made, but I'm not 100% sure. This is just one of a three MIL-K pocket knife lot that I bought. One has been previously posted. One has not been posted yet. It is in Near Mint condition and it didn't need cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
This USMC mil k joined the ranks here the other day. Wasn’t sure who made it at first but after some feedback from a esteemed member here believe it’s a Stevenson . Has no stamp ,etch or bail markings. It does have the Midel (?) not stainless covers. All Carbon tools and blade.May clean them a little then carry it a bit.

Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
JP, I believe that is one of the 2nd generation Marine Corp knife. On the 1st generation the
screw driver was paired with the main blade. Very cool find.

Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
Floyd ,appreciate that info. In the last few days of doing some research there’s a lot to learn about the early ones . Didn’t know about the First ,second gen etc,etc. from a glance they all look the same . Will be paying a little more attention to the older ones from now on .
Take care down there . Have a great evening

Recently found a '67 Imperial to go with my '67 Camillus. The Imperial lanyard is from Germany, my sister made the one on the Camillus.

Thanks, Skip. Finding one without a broken spring is somewhat tricky too.

Re: Mil-K, Utility Knives
We’re there any versions of these that were produced with different ,or less blades?
I’ve seen a few listed without the leather awl , but was not able to confirm if that was just somebody’s mod off a basic 4 blade model
