    This looks, at least superficially, like the "banana knife" carried by most MACV SOG (Studies and Observation(s?) Group) recce guys in the late '60s and very early '70s.

    Would it be worth checking with the SOG vets organization to see if any of those guys recognize it?
    I believe you're referring to the Woodman's Pal which was carried by a lot of SF troopies, LRRP's and SEALs in Vietnam.
