What age and size is this knife
It was offered in their 1981 (ITEM# BT-L36) catalog but not in there 1987 catalog....
BTW, I just discovered that the teeth on the tip.........were part of the knife. The broken tip was not, but I filed down the tip and the teeth. Oh well, I'll get the hang of knives one of these days.
Well, one good thing......it's sharp now!
