Pacific Islander knife?
I acquired this knife this past week, without really knowing where it came from but I like it. The tag on it said, "Pacific Islander knife WW2". The handle and scabbard are made from a hardwood, and the metal bands and other fittings are aluminum. The aluminum looks aged and is probably from military scrap. The blade, which shows age, is very good steel and holds a great edge. It may have been repurposed from another knife. Clip blade. If any members can identify this knife, or have good educated guesses, please let me know.
Regards,
Andrew
