i have an older knife i think i found it in a box of my grandfathers stuff years ago and have been trying to look up
it has crane brand cutlery sheffeild england a little motif of two cranes faceing eachother and it appears some kind of antler handels.
i dont really know where its from my dad was suspecting it came from his grandfather who was in the aef in ww1 but i dont think its that old the blade was broken so i started repofileing it years ago and never finished.
the other knife is a ka bar its suposedly my grandfathers knife he had during ww2 he was a seabee and was on the islands of new herbrides and guadalcanal at henderson airfeild ( i have some cool old pictures but cant scan them )
its suposedly the same knife he carried the whole time i found it in his long lost tackel box after he died and it was an absoulte mess pitted to hell so i cleaned it the sheath is still somewhat intact its a verey sharp knife.
the sheath has brass rivits holding it together the blade is marked with nothing but ka bar
i dont know really anything about either of these items im really hopeing someone can tell me if the ka bar would be period correct for a world war two one or if its newer and the crane i have searched and searched and still find nothing.
any help is greatly appreciated
