I've had this knife since well, a long time ago.
Can anyone help me find the history/style/type/general background of the knife? Or point me in the right direction/forum that would?
The scales are bone, from what animal I do not know. The metal looks like its made from spring steel like a parang or kukhri. It's got a beautiful patina and the cutting edge is razor sharp and quite resilient. Easy to sharpen. The blades locks firmly in 3 positions and there is some simple engraving on the spine.
The history that I know of it is thus: I traded it with an old man in a compound in Afghanistan for a can of RipIt, a Clif bar and an old micro torch......
Any help appreciated
