It doesn't get any more basic. Blade is an old military truck spring. The brass is "Recycled" 20mm ammo casings. The Silver is thin aluminum. The handle "Leather" is Water Buffalo hide. The sheath I had made about 1980, 4 or 5 years after I go the knife. The Knife wasn't cheap either. Cost me $2.50 in 1975 or 76 dollars (bought in the Philippines)! I paid $25.00 for the sheath in Texas.
