I was told years ago that these are 'quartermasters' knives. It's a sharpened pry bar.
Use the blade to pry open wooden crates and the hammer pommel to nail the lids back down.
The sheathes were left handed and rather thin leather. Didn't hold up well.
Funny thing. a sharpened pry bar makes a perfect grunt's knife.
