The scabbard was originally painted black but through time most of the paint has worn
off showing the metal finish. Notice that the same type of rivets are employed in the
scabbard as those used to attach the grips to the tang (below-left).
The scabbard came equipped with a large clip that allowed the knife to be carried on the
belt or in a boot (below-right).
The shape of the blade is a unique characteristic of the fighting knives. One of the
sides of the blade is marked with the number five.
The handle of the knife is riveted together. One side shows protruded rounded rivets (below-left)
while on the other side the rivets are flushed with the wooden handle.
