I dont see a lip either but the knife seems to be ill fitting to the scabbard ie doesnt go all the way down which may be giving that impression, the HJ lozenge needs a clearer shot as the top portion seems to be either damaged or colour faded

Hi Dave, i forgot to mention the leather buffer washer is missing from the blade so this gives the little space you see when its in the scabbard as the buffer takes up this space, i have had many early hj knifes with the same missing leather buffer & have made my own out of an old leather belt to cure this problem.

Thanks Mac, yes i was wondering after i commented if the thing should have a buffer but i wasnt sure
