This knife was passed to me from my deceased brother’s belongings:

Was it Cdn Navy issue? And, I recognize the blade and the marlin spike, but what is the third device?

It is a seaman's knife. I don't recognize the pattern as a RCN issued one, however. As to the third device, it is usually used to help weaving through rope strands when making back splices and such other weaves.

The RCN has issued these out as seaman's knives. We used to get then in for kit returns when I worked at clothing as an OD. I haven't seen one in decades.

What I carry:
 
That looks about 1000x better than the one I was issued a few decades ago. Can’t remember what it was but it was a European company and honestly looked like a plastic fruit knife.

I wore my (purchased) Leatherman instead, before they issued Gerbers.

Blue plastic handle and a black plastic sheath ? Ya, those were garbage.
 
I don’t know when they were issued until, but Afghanistan rightly had the publicity (and lion’s share of the budget).

I think was was <2006 (ish) time frame. I think think there was an intial buy, and then not replenished they were UCR'd to death.
