Sounds like it was made from a buggy spring and that hole is one of the bolt
attachment points to hold several springs together..
Gotta picture???

Most likely a ram rod or wiping stick puller.
Poke the short end of the rod through the hole tip up the blade and pull
a stuck rod. A half inch hole width would handle .50 and down quite
well.

So it ain't just me?? Whew! Perhaps the pics have been removed since the
knife has been sold. Sounds like it was worth $15.

From: HikingOnThru@cs.com
Subject: MtMan-List: Stolen Musket...
For those of you out there who peruse the BP sites, please be on the lookout
for an Escopeta and a unique SE bow and quiver of arrows.
It is a reproduction Spanish Escopeda (Spelling?)
Spanish for "shotgun." It was common in the early and
mid-1700's. Is a short variety, and one of only 10 in
the state. Has a butt plate that looks like a war
club, which is the most distinctive feature. The lock
mechanism is outsite the lock plate instead of inside
the stock.
He also had a bow and quiver stolen with some arrows.
But what he wants back the most is the musket. It was
stolen between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. from his camp when he
was set up for a festival in Wachula (south of Bartow,
Florida) this past weekend. The person who took it
had to dig through his stuff to get at it.
The gun and bow belongs to Jim Sawgrass of Florida. He does native
interpretation for a living. Not only was this his favorite gun but part of
his demonstration and, thus, how he feeds his family.
Put up a holler if you see something like this. There is a police report on
the items so report anyone trying to sell the above described stuff.
