Individual Knife descriptions; Picture 2 left to right: NATO Orange raft knife and canvas pouch in original sealed plastic bag, maker unknown. White stick on tag has bar code with # and I believe a FSN 1670-00-779-1253LS / POCKET CUTTER / 1 EA. 8-92 / F41608-91-C-2345 Pouch is stamped: 98750-60C6037 –70133 8-92 Has shroud knife inside and other I’ve seen open have only numbers stamped on the blade. OD Green raft knife canvas pouch Orange handled shroud knife stamped SCHRADE / WALDEN on the blade, in mint condition. Pouch is stamped 60C6037 ASSY. (AMTC) 62, also in mint condition. Red large cork handled raft survival knife, 9 ¾" overall, was the typical NATO Orange and has been painted over. Cord is attached and may be original but also may have been replaced at some time. Blade edge has some dings and may have been used. Does not look to have been re-sharpened. Blade marked 27C/2023 NATO Orange large cork handled raft survival knife, 9 ¾" overall, with no cord. Blade edge looks to have original edge. Does not look to have been re-sharpened. Blade marked 27C/2023 Picture 3 left to right:     1.   Natural wood handled raft survival knife, just like the British (knife 6) only cord is much heavier and it    has no markings. NATO Orange wood handled raft survival knife with British markings and JOSEPH RODGERS / SHEFFIELD ENGLAND on front and British broad arrow ordnance stamp with the # 27C/2125 on the back. Also has a groove in the front of the handle for tucking in the string, which is still attached. Highly collectible raft knife! Orange wood handled raft survival knife stamped Western on the end of the blade. Some of the orange paint is rubbed off from sheath and you can see it was originally WW II yellow, under the later NATO orange. Attaching cord is in good condition and tucked into slot in the back of the handle. Snap has verdigris with no markings. Leather sheath appears to be identical to the other one (knife 8). This one is still sewn to the yellow raft and was cut out. Back is marked A/C 432 in ink, on what would have been the inside of the raft. Yellow wood handled raft survival knife stamped 56C3504 on the tape wrapping. Blade has a tar like protective coating. Blade does not appear to be marked but could be under protective coating. White braided cord attaching the knife to the sheath is frayed a little in the middle. Leather sheath is in good pliable condition but you can tell it has been attached to a raft at some time. Snap works fine and has some verdigris on the inside. Looks like a U and C stamped on it for United Carr. Picture 4 left to right: Steel raft survival knife blade marked CAMILLUS / New York / U.S.A. I believe this is an unfinished (blank blade) raft knife that was being made by Camillus but never finished. Folding survival raft Shroud Cutter knife unmarked, known to be manufactured by Camillus NATO Orange rubber handled Shroud Cutter marked 62D4267 / 23510 / 1975, I’m sure this is a Schrade and other collectors have collaborated that. Burnt Orange rubber handled Shroud Cutter marked AERIAL M&T / LICNY 1960, has some age cracks in the rubber handle. Black plastic over Styrofoam handled raft survival knife, marked SCHRADE / WALDEN / N.Y. U.S.A.
