Hello,
I just recently saw this knife that i believe is a East German army knife. It has a combination chisel ground blade with a hollow ground tip and false edge. The edges are black while the rest of the unit is stainless. There is a serious saw on the back, compass (measuring marks) at about the middle of the blade around a cut out so the knife can be mounted on the sheath for wire cutting. The grip is black plastic and molded to fit the hand. It comes with a metal sheath with leather strap. The blade is marked Suhl (town where it was made in East Germany). I was wondering if anyone had any info on this piece (price where to get one, etc)
Thanks,
