CaptC Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I used a serrated divers knife on odd occasions. Once at about 25 metres I had to cut a very tight wire that was under tension. It worked. As to my German knife - firewood cutting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozalid Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) With better pictures, yes that’s clearly a bone saw, so I guess it is a hunting knife, although not shaped as we prefer here. Those three holes are the same as you find on folders for a picket clip. Interesting! Edited January 16, 2023 by ozalid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptC Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The knife says, quote "Whitby Germany" Google it? It is not a fish knife as the blade is too thick and not flexible. Unless of course they are German fish built like sharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptC Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The blade has a “blood trough” so maybe a return of the saw bayonet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
