Murphy Combat knife
Finally able to obtain one of these WW II knives. Murphy Combat.
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Re: Murphy Combat knife
Yes cast aluminum. Made by David Murphy during WW 2. Later Murphy was the maker of early Gerber knives that business relationship went south resulting in Murphy’s bankruptcy. Nice section in Levine’s guide about Murphy.

Very cool.
Did they offer sheaths/scabbards too?

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
