yup, thems the ones

cocos (keeling) islands. i seem to remember someone saying that some of them were made from hunks of steel from the german commerce raider 'Emden' that was sunk nearby, probably just a good marketing line. looks like a nice useful knife. the chape seems unusual as the other photos i've seen do not have one.
