			Thanks for the input guys.  Freddy, I really need to get a copy of that book!  Bill, the blade is definetly stout enough to serve as a tool. From the wear on mine, I would guess that it was used to clear brush at a minimum.   in fact, the heavy wear is only apparent on one side.  May be this was done on purpose to preserve a sharp edge if the knife had to be used for defense.
