Additional Notes: The WW2 US Navy Mark 2 Fighting Utility Knife is a legendary blade with a rich military history. It was developed in 1942 as a response to the inadequacies of WWI era trench knives. It was officially adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps in November of 1942, and later by the U.S. Navy as the Mark 2 Utility Knife. It was designed to serve both as a combat weapon and a general-purpose utility tool with ability to cut wires, open crates, and more. The US Navy Mark 2 knives were made by Robeson, Pal, Camillus, and Ka-bar.

There are five variations of the Roberson Shuredge Mark 2. This is the 5th variation with the pinned pommel and guard mark.
