      Interesting piece. Not sure what a folding knife like that would have.

      I posted this on my facebook as well and have been informed its a WW2 ERA CAMILLUS FOLDING SURVIVAL MACHETE KNIFE - on the one I have the tip has been ground (or worn) down. thanks for the replies.

      Hi, it has been extensively ground down.
      Scroll down to find your model shown on this pdf.
