I've never seen another with a grip like this one. Blade measures almost exactly 7" from tip to grip.

Custom K-Bar? I think a member here has his grandpa's knife that had scales made from the plexiglass nose of a WWII bomber.
ETA: Soldiers are always making "trench art". Also, very cool OP! Where'd you get it? |

New grip and bolsters have been put on that. Should look like this.

It looks like the original handle could have been filed/sanded down

Wow, that's cool, OP. I wonder if they were made for the NAVY by the same company that made the knives for the MARINES with the leather handles. Those are cool scales and I've never seen them like that on that knife.

USMC 1219C2 Combat Knife made by PAL that's been "theatre modified". They had plenty of plexi and aluminum around and there wasn't a MRT treatment for leather stack washer handles which didn't fare too well in a tropical marine environment and tended to rot off, so bored sailors and soldiers with access to machinery would rebuild knives with better materials. I have a buddy with a Bowie knife his grandad made in the Pacific out of a jeep leaf spring and lucite and brass.
