2nd patt luft dagger wire query

[BLONDI]

Hi chaps!! Sorry for the rubbish pictures but my camera is not very good. I have owned this dagger for about 3 years and bought it from a dealer that I trust. When it arrived, I immediately queried the wire binding on the handle as I had not seen that configeration before. The Dagger is made by Tiger. The wire has 4 strands in total. One single strand on the outside. Then two strands wound together in the middle and one single strand on the other side. I have researched hundreds of these daggers and cannot find wire like this. It appears to be wound like the wire on the 1st pattern Luft Dagger. Has anyone come across this before???. I was offered a replacement dagger at the time but kept this one. Cheers in advance Andy

A few other maker's did sometimes used similar wire like Holler,Eickorn,Herder and also used generic part's so there are a few still you can add to match your Tiger nice find Blondi
