Re: Sakoblade´s knives from Eskilstuna Sweden
i think your knive is this without the handle

this one was buy in the Beaubourg Museum (design shop) in the beginning of 90's
the side red button command the system you show. Blade is locked open and close and the system very smooth.

Re: WW1 LA BALKANIQUE?
French and English have a connection with this war : both have send military force again Ottoman
and this kind of model (lebalkanique/ le vengeur... and so on) was not specially made for military and sold too for civilian (you can see here the beginning of the marketing )

Re: WW1 LA BALKANIQUE?
I confirm the age of this knive "lebalkanique" is a trademark registered the 8th april 1914 in Thiers (french equivalent to Shieffield or Solingen). this name is surely linked to the balkan war (1912-1913). it's a "couteau à palme" (palme is the metal piece which locks the blade)...

Re: FRENCH SWITCHBLADE ?
i don't find this ref in the databases
i think it's a "DOURIS CHASTEL" (see at the bottom of this link https://www.lecouteau.info/technique-te ... atiques-1/ )
DOURIS CHASTEL is "born" in 1942 but it's can be right with what you write at the beginning of this post

Re: FRENCH SWITCHBLADE ?
i'm curious of this knive, is it a automatic or just a level to unlock the blade ?
the shape look like modern "navette" knives ( see ISARINOX knive or BEGON knive or Douris Chastel knive for example )
but the majority of them have more than one blade.

Re: FRENCH SWITCHBLADE ?
surely French because the stamp on the blade "BTe S..." means " BTe SGDG" ie " Breveté Sans Garantie Du Gouvernement" (Brevet = Patent) what i can say with this information is that this knife has been made beetween 1844 (beginning of this kind of stamping) and 1968 (end...

Re: A French folder?
i've made some research, your knife seem's to be an "alpin" - Grimaud is a deposed trade mark between 1914 and 1959
you can see history of alpin here : http://www.coutelleriegrenoble.com/couteau%20alpin.html
