This knife was listed on eBay as a 1980 Case Bowie but I could see the mark wasn't right for that year and the handle/guard showed signs of patina - The polished blade was throwing me off... I took a chance because the price was right
After further research I'm even more convinced.... That "burnt rubber" smell may not be the best way to describe the odor from the handle, a "distinctive acrid odor" as described on the wikipedia bakelite page nails it: [ Ссылка ]
