Looking for help with antique risque knife

[antiqueknifedude]

Hi I have this old knife that I can't seem to find out anything about, it is maker marked for solingen but is hard too read. I would like to find the age of possible anyone seen one like this before?. Thanks

Looks like 1920's How long is it closed?

[antiqueknifedude]

It is 4 inches closed. Still tight and snapping but heavily pited and tarnished.

Thank you so much, this should be much easier to look up online now, I could not make out the name again thanks.

You're welcome! Can I see a closeup of the tang ? I see something stamped there.

[antiqueknifedude]

It looks like it says Hand made ? I will try and post a picture of it.

The graphite end of a sharpened lead pencil will remove some of the crud without damaging the blade. Used on the tang area it might make the stamp more legible. Just rub with the pencil lead as if you’re writing on it, then wipe off with a soft rag. If it doesn’t help you haven’t hurt it.
