How about the Hudson Bay trade knife. For an example, Amazon lists a Hudson Bay Camp knife. As I understand it some of the period knives ended up with two washers on each side of the scales with pins in the middle giving the nick name of knives with eyes. Remember that back in the day only the blades were imported and the handles were applied later I wouldn't be surprised if some of the native Americans bound the scales on with wet rawhide.
