    Description

    U.S. NAVY MK3 MOD O Combat Diving Knife and Sheath.
    The MK 3 MOD 0 Combat/Diving Knife is a multi-purpose fixed blade fighting knife. Manufactured by Ontario Knife company.
    This knife is issued to
    U.S.
    Navy
    SEALs
    during BUD/S training and is also used by
    Reconnaissance
    Marines
    at the Combatant Divers Course in Panama City, Florida.
    The MK 3 is capable of using as a Fighting Knife, Dive knife,
    and Utility knife.
    There is a striking butt that can be used for hammering, a serrated saw edge on the spine, as well the ability to pry with the thickness of the blade.
    The knife also features a clip point with a very up-swept tip.
    The US Navy chose 440 Stainless Steel for the blade material with a hardness rating of 49-54 HRC for two reasons. One being the corrosive resistant of stainless steel and the other being it’s a cost-effective metal to mass produce. The other benefit would be the simplicity of sharpening in the field.  The Black Oxide finish would also help protect the blade from rusting.
    Note: Blade , just above the crossguard , stamped with "MK 3 MOD O" and MFG.# 2V376 - SEE PICS.
