Musgrave - Nyala?

[JNewell]

Looking at the booklet that comes with the CRK DVD, I noticed the knife shown below in a small scan from the booklet. It looks quite a bit like a prototype Nyala. Notice the blade shape and the exposed rear tang with lanyard hole. Does anyone know anything about the background and history of the Musgrave?

There's about 20 seconds on this one on the DVD...not much info there.

I am unsure what exactly the DVD refers to but Musgrave is the name of a now defunct South African rifle manufacturer. It was a division of the parastatal arms company Denel and was a manufacturer of hunting rifles in popular calibre's here in SA.

It is possible that Chris did a special for them at some time

I hope this helps........Steven
