Interesting old knife

Post by helenu »

Hi everyone - I have this lovely knife, the handle appears to be horn. The blade is quite loose when you take it out but when you fix it in place in line, it just places it very sturdily, great design. I can find no marks and wonder if it is handmade. Does anyone know anything about a knife like this, age or origin? Many thanks as always.
