Message:: [QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9607283, member: 76316"]The 'Spike is ~5 1/4", an I think Case made a longer one, 'cause I've got it; ~6" (not shown). The sheath seems well-enough made to be original, at least for the 'Spike...but I have doubts about the knife being original to the other two, partly because it isn't marked XX, as is the sheath...which has the initials of a prior owner.One of the previous folks to have this knife undertook to add a lanyard hole...an' to an extent achieved that goal, but at the cost of sufficient heat being generated during the drilling to char both sides of the wooden grip in that vicinity. One would hope he learned about drilling stainless knife alloy, so as not to attempt it ever again.The question is whether the knife belongs (from Case) to this sheath/'Spike combination. It may be that the lanyard could have allowed easier withdrawal from the sheath, as its full insertion there leaves very little to grip.Y'all must have more wisdom about this than I...Thanks for lookin'!
