Pretty sure this was standard issue for every ten year old boy. Leather washer handle and iirc there's a small brass nut running on the tang with a slot in it. It pulls up into the aluminium pommel and holds everything together?

My wife bought me this one for Father's Day... http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...b1b64fcdba.jpg

It sure is. Think I paid the princely sum of around $12 for it at the local sports/fishing store that I walked past each day on my way to school. Each day looking in the window to check it was still there until the I could proudly take it home. Mother of course was none too impressed about a seven year old buying such a thing; eventually realising over the years it was a good investment.

It is one of the few things they haven't pilfered come to think of it.

Correct Jaeger boning knife. Yes she is thoughtful you gotta love the little lady she doesn't like the hunting herself but 100% supports it and will even come out for the occasional walk

Made this one when I was 15, built a small fan forced forge in the ground and quenched it in molten lead then air cooled. Handle is from an Australian hardwood batten. Sheath is done with brass rivets normally used to attach brake linings to bands.
