I wonder if the K-rats are still good to eat. They last forever.

BTTT and congratulations on raising your daughter the Right way! Brings tears to my eyes ... a grandfather's weapon is a sacred relic.

Great. I have one of those old, wooden-handled, early-40s K-Bars also. Mine was passed on to me from an older Marine friend who was there at "the Canal" too, from one Marine to another. From your photo, mine looks to be in just a bit better shape than yours, and I'd bet that if you looked under that blade side of the tang between the blade and the handle, it would say "Camillus, NY" and "USMC."

On a side note, my friend also scratched his service number and his home state on the leather scabbard and they're still visible. Might have been a common thing to do at the time.
Semper Fi to your daughter.

Hey, congrats to your family for continuing the Marine Tradition.

I work on Quantico mainside - have your daughter drop me a line if she needs a break.

Feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance.

Semper Fi!
