So it's a USN Mk. 2 knife? Did you try googling that?

>restore
no. look, you're obviously not old enough to be handling nice things. Please put it into an airtight container full of olive oil and put it on a high shelf away from light. Leave it there until you're 18, then you can come back and show us.

The handle looks, for lack of a better word, gross. The guard is also loose. I have shittons of leather that I could make a new handle with, to better press the guard against the blade. I didn't want to remove the original handle if it was actually worth anything, though.

>>33510355 It has one full edge and one almost-half length edge

Again, guys, I don't want to fuck with anything that's actually rare/valuable, even if it's in poor shape. This just looked like a knife that was bought from a surplus store for cheap and abused by some kid for years.

I looked it up, and that's pretty close. I haven't seen one with this guard shape or handle coloring
