Aitor Drop point

[OLDE CUTLER]

I have had this knife a long time, back to 1982 I think I picked up the blade at a gunshow for $8-$9. I wanted a lightweight fixed blade with very light weight handles in a clip on boot knife type sheath, so I at that time went with some 1/8" nylon for handle material. Recently I decided to redo the handle material to ironwood. The fasteners are screw type, so it is easily removable. The knife is 7 and 7/8" overall with a 3 and 1/2" edge. Back in the day 1982 I can recall seeing in magazines some other Aitor knives that I think were imported by Gutmann in particular the "Jungle King" survival knife that I always wanted. I have never seen another Aitor knife, does anyone have any of them?

Showing the original handles I made from a very thin lightweight nylon.

The new ironwood handle material is a little thicker, so it fits the original sheath I made snuggly now.

Thanks guys, I was hoping some one would have a Jungle King by Aitor to show off. I always wondered how effective that folding slingshot built into the sheath really is.
