Seems dumb to tell you this is pre-owned, but it is.   The 225 Q is a 6 inch fixed blade, US Army issue knife that was contracted by the US Army and US Navy from 1942 through 1945. Made from 1095 carbon steel, 10 1/2 inches in overall length, with a stacked leather washer handle and steel pommel - it is a robust knife and formidable in the hand.  This example is in excellent used condition.  Blade has been modified (in the field probably) with a hook that could have been for skinning or as a pot holder.   Mild surface discoloration as would be expected from a 70+ year old military issued field knife with 1095 high carbon steel.  Worst about this knife is about 1mm of tip missing where someone likely was prying with the knife (it was a TOOL in WWII).  Pommel is 3 steel washers with checkered but-cap often used as a hammer.  Stacked leather handle in exceptional used condition for the age.  Steel guard.  Blade approx 6".  Overall approx 10 1/2".  Replacement leather sheath.  A nice piece of WWII military history that is seen at other places for over $300.00.

  Imagine the stories this knife could tell..
