i bought a knife a few years ago, its a really nice knife bone handles the blade is inscribed with a tall ship and star of india above the ship. the tang stamp says national blade surgical steel japan. the handle on one side has a scrimshaw scene of a ship "i assume its the star of india" and its signed joe luiz. i found him in newport rhode island he owned a shop he was a well known scrimshaw artist who had died about 12-13 years ago now. what i want to know is, is there anyone who watches this blog who might know about national blade?

I just acquired a National Blade with Siren etched on the blade and scrimshaw bone handle, a very nice looking knife. At first sight I figured that it was a Parker, despite what people say about Parker I have 6 different patterns all are bone 4 different names on the tang and I like them! At least they're not made in China. Some day they'll be collectable. Just my opinion. Butch

wow it took 6 years to find this again and finally a picture, it is a national blade not american blade and it is a parker, parker\case had quite a few knife makers over in japan in the 80's this is just one. i'll have to figure out a close up of the tang stamp and the scrimshaw with signature, but everything i found on luiz was he was one of the top scrimshanders of new port and the entire east coast but he's not around anymore
