I don't have a photo handy, but the issue knife of the US. Navy looks like a civilian hunting knife to me.

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of pictures too of WWII Soldiers and Marines and you can see their knife and it's a common civilian hunting knife!

This is very true. What's more, it wasn't uncommon for Uncle Frank or grandpa Jo to mail a knife to one of the fighting men.  When you consider the soldiers and marines were really going off to war and the WWI Mk 2 Trench knife was still the standard issue it shows are lack of preparedness.  Wrong knife for the wrong war.

Don't forget all the theater knives made in WWII.  There are books about those as well.

Speaking of military knives.....during WWII all the knife companies gathered up their standard production knives and sent them in to the war effort. So, some of the old WWII era hunting knives that a person might come across MIGHT have been a "military" knife!
