   One of our readers sent in an image of a knife that he says has been in his   
   family for nearly 100 years.  He'd like to know if anyone knows what this   
   might have been used for and any history about this type of knife.  He writes:   
      
   The knife is 13 inches long the sheath and blade are 9 inches the handle is 4   
   inches.  The handle is made of ivory or an animals tusk of some sort.  The   
   sheath is made of wood 2 pieces bound by copper wire in 4 places.  It has been   
   in my family for nearly a 100 years that I know of, apart from this   
   information I know little of its history.  Regards Mick
