CATTARAUGUS, USA-WW2 era 225Q Quartermaster Knife & Mark 2 BLACK leather sheath

Original World War 2 era American "Quartermaster Knife" (model 225Q) in scarce BLACK color Mark II fighting knife leather sheath. Quartermasters were manufactured during WW-2 by Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Model 225Q ("Q" stands for Quartermaster) was modeled as a heavy utility knife designed to open ammo boxes, cargo crates, and hammer down nails, if needed. The Quartermasters were very popular with the troops and saw auction in every major military theater during the War. This particular type is illustrated on page 88-89 in the book KNIVES OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WORLD WAR II by Michael W Silvey - a well-established expert an author of many books on the subject of US military edged weapons (see the book's scan attached).

 

Quartermaster is a solid heavy-duty tool that was designed to take a lot of abuse; most of these knives were used as intended - working on the ships and in the battlefields; relatively few survive in decent condition. This knife appears to have original edge; the tip is intact. Ricasso is stamped CATTARAUGUS / 225Q; te pommel is stamped with large number 2 on a side. Blade's tip has some light pitting that has been cleaned to a near-white condition. Stacked leather handle with heavy duty solid steel handguard and pommel is in excellent condition; all parts are solid with no play. The knife is 10-5/8" / 27 cm overall; the blade is 6-1/8" /15.5 cm long; 4.5 mm thick. Very tough and very practical; no wonder it was so popular during the war. The sheath is the contemporary period replacement - a scarce early all-leather black-colored sheath for Mark 2 "KA-BAR" fighting knife great condition; the leather is not dry; all rivets and stitching are tight .
