--> Cattaraugus 225Q Knife with Sheath Named to a Soldier in Alaska during the War--> This is a heavy duty Cattaraugus 225Q sheath knife made during WWII. Please NOTE - the knife has a left handed sheath. There was a reason for this; frequently a soldier wore a pistol on the right side of their web belt, and the knife would just get in the way. Consequently, most of the 225Q Sheaths were left handed, to be worn on the other side. This is a sturdy knife, with a blade length of 5 & 7/8 inches, and an overall length of 10 & 3/8 inches. The blade is marked "Cattaraugus 225Q" on the left side. The "Q" stood for Quartermaster, and the knife was originally designed to open heavy wooden supply crates, though it wound up frequently being used in combat.
--> The sheath is marked on the front with the soldier's name. The name appears to be PABLO ????. The Pablo is easy to read, but the last name is hard to make out. The man's serial number was 38032133. The back of the sheath is marked YUKON CD - 2nd Alaska.
CONDITION: The knife blade is quite sharp, and has sharpening marks along the blade edge area. There are a couple of grind marks and some pitting in one area as well. The leather washer handle is in good condition. The leather washers in the handle are rough in the center, but they were made that way. The guard and pommel have a very slight wobble, but are solidly in place. The sheath has a lot of wear. There is a small hole in the front of the sheath near the tip, and the leather tip is bent. The retaining strap still works, but has some cuts and wear. The snap works OK. The sheath is an historical object, and I do not recommend that it be worn.
