Good Condition. Some sharpening to the blade edges. Some cleaning, scratching, and pitting to the blade. All of the darkened finish has worn away from the blade and hilt.

For Christmas of 1923, Seattle Tent & Awning sent these knives to their favorite customers as a show of goodwill. An example of the "Seattle Tent & Awning" Mk. 1 knuckle knife is featured on page 29 of M.H. Cole’s reference work "US Military Knives Book IV". This is a very scarce knife. No sheath included.
