It is either an older Western Bowie or possibly a copy of one from Pakistan.. They were kind of popular in Vietnam. I remember that some of the REMFs had and wore them when they had to man the lines or pose for pictures.. It was a bit too heavy for a grunt or anyone assigned to a grunt company to carry.

You should seriously consider a blog or website where you can archive and compile all your work mate, because it would be a wealth of knowledge for people looking for a decent and well setup list of info!

Most places I've seen that offer similar advice, only offer snippets and then offer to sell a dvd or whatever, which infuriates me as they're less about helping in survival situations as they are about making a buck from it.

Your sincerity in the help you give would shine out to people looking, like your threads here always get attention!! It's just a little harder here to see at a glance all the things you've offered!!

The reality is that the knife you found was probably a murder weapon that was used cleaned off then buried never to be found again. Id be a little weary about that.

Not likely... I agree with Thestargateisreal that is was kids...
that or it got dropped in the mud and lost, forgotten...

I've also handled things that were used for violence and you can feel that... this knife didn't have that
