I think <---Key word right there, that its another retention device. i.e. a pin goes through the sheath and knife.
 
pin lock sheath

large copper/bronze rod that actually goes THROUGH the knife, and both sides of the sheath, locking in in. that's strong!

that old kenney rowe, go figure

Huh, I always thought it was a forward lanyard hole. I guess you learn something new every day.

That would be an awesome application of it, I love forward lanyard holes on the knives I have handles with them (yet to get one of my own, as Becker no longer produces a knife with a hole in the front and all of my next fixed blade purchases are planned to be BKT haha.

someone has a tendency to write nasty lawyer letters if you put your hole in the wrong place ;)

This was brought up a while ago- someone wanted a foreward lanyard on their BK without changing the Grivory. It was discovered that you can take the scales off and put gutted paracord in the front hole (between the first and second screw holes from the blade) and then put the handles back on the cord would stay in place. The result was quite an efficient way of making a new attachment point to your body without modifying anything.
 
Don't listen to any of these guys. It's a sighting device for an M1 Abrams.

considering that i think i own all the BK5s ever made, just in case i confused BK4s and owned most of those... who knows?
 
No, I mean it's mine, mine. I just left your place.
I sedated the alligators, whispered down the attack dogs, avoided the trip wires, and managed to navigate the tiger pits and the giant stone ball.
