thanks for the help.
Feel free to bid on it if you would like, it is not mine.
I saw an add for them somewhere and I don't remember what they are called or who makes them.

Looks like one of the REKAT "Warrior" knives, Hobbit or Gijan?

I saw a knife like that a couple of years ago.
I think it might have been "Explorer" brand.
It was cheap and junky. Had to laugh, the box was marked "Hunting Knife"
I had not long since bought my Hobbit.
The Explorer was much larger than the Hobbit and seemed to be a copy of the original Al Mar Warrior from which the Hobbit evolved..

Just had another look.....the serrated fully sharpened back is the giveaway. The Warrior and the Hobbit have unsharpened "grabber hooks" that were not designed to cut. And they were both (I think) black or green coated.
This one is the same as the one I saw. IMO, bidding has already exceeded its value.
Hope I am not stepping on another member's toes.
