Scabbard and dagger are old/ really older than the ''baldric'' who seems more recent ( 60-80's )

I prefer the dagger without it !
The scabbard looks like some old german hunting daggers.
.
Interesting on scabbard and guard:
an old fixation system.
Still works good...

On the back of the blade there is more a large teeth file rather than a saw as de said.
I wonder when they will use it ??
The blade is well made ( massive with sharp ends) and I don't think they just forge it with an old file an leave it like that...
For the utility of the file ,
Just thought now:

for a useful survival knife: help prisonners / file through prison bars
( sure dynamite or keys are be more efficient ! )
