Could be a possible project platform for a knife similar to Sean's - the scales look to be affixed with Phillips screws, so could be removed and more period ones pinned ... not sure how accurate that guard would be for a medieval knife, or the quality of the steel, but for $12.98, it seems like a cheap platform to build from for those with the inclination ...
