Interesting that this thread started this weekend. I found my pop's JPK over the weekend.
Not exactly 'from the trash', but, found after many years.
This knife has a lot of history for me. I somewhat inherited it when I was about 12 years old. Being a kid, I took a dremel tool to it, thinking I knew what I was doing.
The edge is going to need some reshaping and cleanup.
Best I have been able to dig up on it is that it is a Utica Cutlery - Jet Pilots Knife - circa 1966-1970.
Given that my dad was in the Navy during that period, it is my best guess.
If anyone knows anything about old military knives and has an opinion, I would love to hear it!
