Dave never heard of it. looks nice Not in cole's book.

Thanks for the rely Jeff........No other markings...Handle is leather with 2 fiber washers at each end.....Blade is a bit narrower than M3........It is 3/4" wide, where standard M3 is 7/8".......I googled the net and found a couple of references to a DIX knife, but no pics of one...This one has me puzzled...Best Reguards......Dave
