Awesome Houston  and you certainly have a fantastic Navy dagger collection. I'm a bit embarrass to show my one and only "regular" KM dagger. Nothing special and no fancy fittings either, but I do love the patina on the scabbard that has turned into a nice shade of multi colors. A.jpg (68.03 KB, 200 downloads)

stupid question time. how common are the dark /orange grips on navies?. i`ve handled a few, (heers/sa`s are my thing,) but have never seen one without the white ivory grip. until now i`ve never really found them attractive, but those orange grips are going part way to changing my mind!. steve.

Here's a "textbook" example. Can be found on page 256 in Wittmann's Navy book. I owned this dagger before the book was published, Tom forgot to change the owner's names. ;o( This dagger belonged to a Navy Medical Dr. It was given to me as a Christmas gift..

Here is the Puritanical model with a black handle and a plain blade. To be worn with black socks and itchy scratchy underwear at the messhall where mashpotato sandwiches and water were on the menue.
