After posting that sailors/rope makers knife, I realised that I have my Bugout knife in a special case.
The knife is hand forged in Hamburg, Germany, the sheath hand sewn in Zwiefalten, Germany and the fire steel is imported from Hong Kong...my special combination with a sheath with no snaps, velcro or moving parts to break or fail in use. Hangs on my belt or fits into any cargo pocket.
If you look close at the last pic, you can see 3 of my fingers reflecting in the shiny hand polished blade as I took the photo...the original rough surface of the knife back is sharp edged and great for striking a spark without leaving the typical black spark-marks on a normally nice blade which ruins the appearance then.
