Good morning..(inhale)..ARC, Rook, Bill, WD, Simon, Bart, RR, GB, and the rest of our awesome crew! ..whew! Out a breath! And good night Simon, and have a blessed day at work WD...it's Friday!

Bart nice finds, triangular iron looks interesting. I'm happy it's at lest the discovery channel that is doing the show, at lest we know some truth will remain in the telling. We can slap a star fish on your dressing room door!

Cloudy and rain later here, tomorrow it will be windy and pour. The bright side...the snow will be washed away!

And ARC...you must have really big pockets if you put a rum keg in there!

Hey Bart: Interesting recoveries (and hollywood events...).

A throwing knife on the water would have good odds of getting wet eventually. But stranger things have happened..

Dirks and daggers. Dirks were popular with certain and many sailors. But your piece is no dirk.
Daggers attended rank more often than not...A type of form over function ,decorative vs practical. Not that a good dagger was not useful if desired.

You know the oceans effect better than I , and while it looks recent (exposure wise) there were early commando knives that were three pinned on the handle.
English fighting knives often more ornate , but there were some knives not too far removed from your design.

The hardness of the steel could be part of the answer. With throwing knives often soft ,or at least not of better edge retention material treated for hardness and tempered.

Not all , but some cheap throwing knives with handle material are wrapped. Really don't need handle material. A slippery grip is best.
So why a holed handle? Decoration maybe. If for balance there's easier ways than drilling. And drilling through steel on the cheap means annealing hard steel first...
Then if for durable sharp edge work, we're back to hardening and tempering again. So, cheap knives with no need for hard steel could be punched or drilled cheaply...IF a good reason existed.

Just don't toss it back in the water yet.....L.o.l.

Bart goes to Hollywood . Or Hollywood goes to Bart...

This guy with the hat looks a bit like Bart. Bart
