Very nice knife. An interesting subject for the scrimshaw most people aren't aware the Japanese attacked the U.S. anywhere but Pearl Harbor. Attu island was also the first place a Japanese Zero was shot down and recovered which was very important for the U.S. war effort.

I love the knife. I'm in the Coast Guard and have been to Attu multiple times. The scrimshaw images look very much like the island.
