Need Help With a Clasp Knife
Need Help With a Clasp Knife
I picked up this knife recently, and I'm hoping someone here can tell me more about it. It looks to be European in origin. Based on the letters of the blade stamp I think the knife might have been made in Hungary or some nearby country. Anyone have any thoughts on this one like age or country of manufacture?

You´re right about it. It´s a typical Hungarian pattern and the stamp looks Hungarian as well.

Thanks, Frank. Is there any way to figure out when it was made, or is it one of those knives that are really hard to date because they've made them basically the same way for a long time?

Oh well. Its true age will just have to remain a mystery. Thanks for all your help with this one, Frank.Capt. Farrel wrote:Your right Dave, they are still making them like this in Hungary.
