Duccio,

Apologies! I missed your comment. Very interesting information, and much appreciated. I had never heard that explanation for why these siding have a sharp point. Frankly, I had assumed it allowed for a more utilitarian purpose - to allow for a digging tool. Any good survivalist knows that having a sturdy digging stick it's a useful bit of kit. Like the more modern Woodman's Pal, I thought this might have served the same purpose for a useful jungle knife.

As for the dagger handle, what makes it unique?
