👍 Very nice story, thank you for sharing. Glad you able to find a knife similar to one that clearly meant something to you as a youth. Without passing judgement, I was sad to hear that you are no longer allowed to carry a small utility knife as it prevents you from fully enjoying the functionality of this tool from days gone by. I believe you did a very good job refurbishing this knife and repurposing the ammo magazine pouch as a sheath was an excellent idea.

I am not familiar with the knife in question but given what you have said about the marque and its history I would hazard a Naval connection. The secondary tool would serve as a marlin spike for untying knots or splicing and a punch-awl for sail repairs etc. The main blade looks like it might have initially had a straight edge and a profile that tapered out from the tang towards the point. Ergo a Rope Knife (,or Ramsfoot if you will ;)

Perhaps it’s an issued Polish Army knife

I like to give a shout out to ebay UK for handling knives and bladed antiques with all the thoughtfulness and understanding as a daily mail reading , pearl clutching granny. Thanks for linking to “knives found on a person while on the street”crime at the Ugov website. Thank you for misinforming the public and intimidating antique dealers and local craftsmen.

Although I may not have the comprehensive overlook of the OP regarding this matter, I should also wish to express the depth of my gratitude to the eBay team. It was wonderful to discover entirely by coincidence that I am once more entitled to bid, having had such privileges at some point removed for no apparent reason.

I have this very same bayonet, dark gray handle and the sheath is identical. I also got the version with the different saw back based off the S&W 3B.

Good video 👍🏼👍🏼 The one I bought in 2001 is made from a thicker steel. Just a bit more robust. I bought another one in 2014 and got the Bushman Bowie a year later. Still extremely reliable knives. I like to have a bit of reach when I go into bear country and these blades will do the job when attached as a spear.

Could you please tell me the model number on the knife... mine says gh5037... there seems to be at least 3 different versions of this knife...gh5037 is usually the legionnaires bowie knife, weird. Thanks again: -)

Sorry mate, this is a cheaper version available in the UK. The proper movie versions are silly expensive over here.

@@timbo66 @timbo66 Thanks for your reply, I'm in the UK too, mine is signed Gill Hibben and has a model number.... I bought it second hand, it was in someone's collection they sold to a hunting shop. .. it looks like your version as it has the smaller brass plaque, and not the larger Expendables plastic inlaid logo plaque on the handle

Hi, mine`s the cheaper Anglo Arms `replica`.

I have one of the German army pocketknives and it does not look like because it does not have a hook or beak on the end, but it will open cans if you use it as you would normally use a Swiss Army Knife can opener. Sharpening the bevel on that lower front end (screwdriver) of what you think is only a bottle opener.

Very nice knife and video. I love that straight back full belly blade design. I know that several other people call that shape a “trade knife” and “scalping knife” but what historical evidence do you know to support that descriptive name? Why is this straight back/ full belly design called a scalping knife? Rather than a trailing point blade, bull nose butcher knife blade, or spear point blade shape?

@timbo66 13 күн бұрын

Thanks. I have no idea why they`re called scalping or trade knives, didn`t find any clues when I was researching either, sorry.

@zednotzee7 25 күн бұрын

Looks decent,. even if you did mess up the edge a bit. And it still cuts ok so that's not much of a downside. I think they would definitely have had an axe and or a hatchet / tomahawk. From what I've seen from depictions of hunters etc from that time period, much use was made of pack animals. So there'd be little problem with taking those sort of tools along with them.

@dongkhamet1351 25 күн бұрын

Perhaps ideally a hatchet and a medium sheath knife, such as this, as well. Then with Nessmuk, the folding pocket slicer was added, and the Trifecta Of Blades was baptized. Nowadays some people switch out the hatchet for a folding saw, which depending on the task will work quicker and more cleanly as well as packing light.

@zednotzee7 25 күн бұрын

@@dongkhamet1351 Indeed, but I think it all depends on where they were going, and what they wanted to do when they got there. Nessmuk of course was going ultra light, but a fur trapper probably wouldn't, and neither I suspect would hunters. Both of those would definitely have pack horses / mules. But for carrying on there person, your probably not far wrong. 🙂

a relatively simplistic design intended to be mass manufacturable where machete or even hand and a half sword sized versions of this will still make a lot of sense
