authentic sailor knive sometimes called nautic bowie ( this one without marlin spike)
dutch sailors used to carry this in the middle of the lower back so it could be grabbed left- or right handed when climbing
sometimes the captain ordered to break off the tip before sailing (!)
preferably sharpened on a very rough stone so it would "saw" through ropes easier
remake of an 19th century knife but still in use today..... ( but now stainless of course )

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
