But that ignores the haphazard and chaotic conditions encountered during warfare. Guys found themselves having to do all sorts of jobs with only the tools they had on them. In such situations, the 225 Q was a godsend.
Lots of hunting knives and utility knives went to war. Knives were highly prized item. So the Marines, soldiers and sailors brought whatever they could find or buy. They were not contract weapons, but they had they. Goes along with all of the handguns that guys carried that came from home. I know the local Sheriff gave some of the confiscated handguns to local guys going off to war. Different times back then...........
