This knife comes from the estate of my brother who served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam with the US Army 1970-71. I have a plaque he received from the same time period which he received in appreciation for his service from The 358 Aviation Division. I know he wore this knife and sheath as an Army Sergeant in Vietnam. He told me the green nylon cords were for strapping the knife to his boot where it was hidden.
