In the picture section is Roy's USMC issued Ka-Bar fighting knife, that he customized into what's known as "theater knife". Theater knives we're standard issue knives that the servicemen embellished aboard ship en-route to station, using whatever materials they could find.

Theater knives characteristically have handles of acrylic rings of alternating colors, usually clear and black as that was the most common material found on a ship.

Roy's knife has notches files on the spine, story has it that like an old west gun fighter that filed notches on the butt of thier gun for "kills", the notches on this knife represent the same.
