Greetings all,
I saw this damaged knife today, this is the same knife type as the 2nd knife (with white circle) of my OP it can be seen here @ Stewart's Military Antiques - - German Post WWI Fighting/Utility Knife, Tools in Handle - $435.00 It is an illustrative example of how the early plastics used for handles’ materials does not always hold up well to use and the ravages of time.
