Looks like a crude sextant for navigating with the sun moon or stars I’m not sure but it also looks like your unit is printed misaligned with the viewing hole compared to the manufacturers other pictures so I wouldn’t bet my life on that feature in the bush
Looks like a primitive compass of some sort…or else it’s a random protractor.
I thought it could have been a compass but East is on the wrong side
Kind of works like a lensatic compass
It looks like a compas, but I haven’t seen one number in both directions…
That would be a hole in which a rod attached to a string can be placed in order to run line at a specific angle
What is the model?
A dull knife.
It’s a clinometer, sometimes called an inclinometer. It’s used with a weighted string to measure the angle of things above the horizon. There was a book called Everybody’s Knife Bible that advocated this feature in conjunction with a particular land navigation system. The clinometer was for estimating the height of hills, not for celestial objects.
A center for ANTS?!?
Nobody commenting on the blade just fully laying into his hand?
I haven’t seen a Jeo Tec on here before outside of my Tracker I posted way back. Great blades built solid.
A rare, Sith artifact.
Kompas
It’s used for map reading and land navigation. It’s a half circle protractor.
Bro, your hand! It’s about to get an owie!
