Amazing as usual, this would be an issue knife re handled correct? Can you tell me / us about its origin?
You are right this is an 1941 pattern army knife blade rehandled in Chukotka in the village of Uelen - the most eastern settlement of Russia.Amazing as usual, this would be an issue knife re handled correct? Can you tell me / us about its origin?

Really curious!Hey! I once lived less than 100 kilometres from Uelen! In Wales, Alaska.
I mostly grow up in Nome, about 270 kilometres from Uelen, but Uelen was certainly a name i heard a lot growing up. I think one of the shop keepers back home was from Uelen originally.
