Got this from a mate that kept it in a toolbox in his shed.It originally had a leather handle,but had been badly damaged by battery acid!
Most of the right side of the handle had been eaten away by the acid,the pommel looked like a dog had chewed on it.The leather had gone to an evil smelling powdery mess,and the tang had signs of rust.
After removing the pommel and leather,cleaned her up to remove rust,added new spacers on front and rear,a nice block of linen,and a piece of alloy for the pommel.
The only difference between this and the shop made blade is this one still has the exposed tang nut(cant see it in the pic,but it is there),the shop made would have an inverted nut for this handle type.
This used to be a daily carry,but now I have 5-6,not so much.
