Pushbutton wrote:All right this is my last stab at it. When you push the clamp and the handle opens what do you see inside?. Is it round? Are there some type of teeth that would grab when closed again. The gard has a hole correct. My final answer after using all my lifelines is C. Regis. it's a pilots knife that can attached and lashed to a spear type piece of wood for small game hunting or spear fishing. "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" OOOOOOH Mr pushbutton are judges are looking into it right now.

mrbigg wrote:ok, now i see what you are talking about - i think the opening may be for some kind of mounting system, like maybe a bayonet!?!? so when you squeeze the clamp, this allows you to slide the knife onto a clip, or some sort of attachement on a rifle? (just a guess)
All righ all right I'll give it to you get rid of the unhappy face. Of course mine was the smarter reply as you and I both know bayonets don't look like that. But I won't gloat. And the reason I won't is because we are both most likely wrong. But it does have that military look to it. Maybe a female soldier and she kept her pads in there nice and safe.

When you squeeze the handle clamps a very small opening at the bottom of the knife handle occurs. There are no teeth or any type of gripping mechanism apparent. I stuck a tooth pick up the opening and it only went in about an inch. I am almost positive that the knife is military in nature, maybe from around the Korean war, and quite probably supplied to the British army but I just can't figure out what the number etched into the blade are or what the clamping mechanism is used for. It's a really sturdy and stout knife.
It' driving me crazy! Also, just an FYI, I bought this a a yard sale last weekend from someone who knew nothing about it. Only paid $5.00 for it too.
If I may put forth a slice of personal philosphy, I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child king long enough...
