Is the Combat Knife in Fallout 4 a 1219C2 KA-BAR knife?

Knives come in many shapes and sizes, but I noticed that the combat knife looks particularly similar to a KABAR that I own. So I started comparing images, particularly noticing the blade profile, fuller, ricasso, grip, and rounded pommel.

Though I feel like I may have found the right knife, I have not as yet found any information to confirm or contradict my belief. Looking through the Fandom page for the Combat Knife, I did not learn any model details. The Wikipedia page doesn't say anything about Fallout, but does make an interesting note that corresponds with the timeline:

Ka-Bar is the contemporary popular name for the combat knife first adopted by the United States Marine Corps in November 1942 as the 1219C2 combat knife (later designated the USMC Mark 2 combat knife or Knife, Fighting Utility), and subsequently adopted by the United States Navy as the U.S. Navy utility knife, Mark 2.

Broadening my search, I tried to find articles that refer to knives generally in gaming, hoping I might find a new lead. So far, the articles I have found have not yielded any useful information (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Can anyone confirm or deny with a game file, Bethesda statement, or other authoritative source that the Combat Knife in Fallout 4 is a 1219C2 KA-BAR knife?

The Ka-Bar USMC fighting knife is a legendary blade that was first designed to serve US troops during World War II.

Is Ka-Bar a good knife?

While many reviewers praise the USMC KA-BAR as an excellent survival knife, I think there are better options out there these days. Large clip-point blades are over-kill for bushcraft, especially for carving etc. A drop-point blade is more robust and generally preferable for tasks like gutting wild game.
