    Can’t see the top one too well is it a blade and a Marlin spike or 2 blades… I’ve had half a eyeball out looking for a spiked one for rope work.

    They weren't a new item then, but in the 70s, we issued them to air crew. (Pilots and crew chiefs) It was worn in their survival vest.
    It came in a leather sheath with a small wet stone in a pocket on it.

    And like USMC issue K-Bars-- EVERYBODY was always trying to get their hands on them.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
    This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
    EVERYONE!
