Arrival

US Navy Deep Sea Diver's Knife:



Condition: Brand new, still in original packaging.

Cost: I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Weight: because of the solid brass scabbard, extremely heavy. My Randall bowie knife isn't this heavy.

Why? Damned if I know. I've never dived. Only thing I could think is that I remember owning the G.I. Joe deep sea diver's outfit when I was a kid, and admiring the knife that came with it. I recently saw one of these in Wilmington onboard the USS North Carolina (BB-55) in the dive locker, attached to a dive suit. That one was probably an antique, this one is brand new. I don't think they're made anymore, but I could be wrong.
