WW2 CATTARAUGUS 225Q FIGHTING & UTILITY KNIFE WITH LEATHER SCABBARD . Please see Cole's book 4 , p.72, and Cole's 3, p.65, 67. These knives apparently started out as a tool for the Quartermaster Corp for opening and closing wooden crates. The blade is very thick, enough to stand up to prying open wooden crate wood, and the massive steel washer flat pommel for pounding the nails back in. It turned out as soon as the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force servicemen saw one, many followed suit wanting one for themselves. This is a condition rarity example (common knife, uncommon condition). The knife is in original un-buffed, unpolished pristine mint condition. The 6" blade is factory sharpened only, and retains 100% bright polish finish. The steel crossguard and pommel are mint, and the guard is 90% tight. The "225Q" stamp on the blade is light, but is fully there. The leather washer handle is tight, and has the characteristic of a few grooves machine cut into it by the factory. It is original, and correct. The correct leather scabbard remains in EX++ condition with no problems. Thanks for your interest.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* Note * This fine example comes from my personal collection that I'm forced to sell to help finance new acquisitions.
