I sent the seller a request for information. I asked if there was a compass in the butt cap. Also asked what the heck he was doing in Viet Nam in 1985, because the knife was made in 1984 or 85. His response:
No this was one of the first and the compass is in the pouch. As far as Veit Nam that was top secret.
Gotta love it
