Nice Pocket Knife but who made it?
Hi I am hoping thst soneone on the board can shed some light on my pocket knife. It does not have a maker mark on it. Unless it got rubbed off from use. Ive used a loop to see if it had any markings. Couldn't see any. Did some of the well known manufacturers not mark any of theirs? Thank you for any information you csn share.

I cannot help you put your finger on it. Looks like one of the thousands of Buck 110 knockoffs. Despite that, it’s a very nice looking knife. I like it.

Re: Nice Pocket Knife but who made it?
I don’t know who made it either. Appears nice, but typically (not always) if the maker didn’t put their name on it, it’s a very low end, inexpensive knife.
Recommend you clean the green verdigris off the knife. Typically it forms on brass areas of knives that have been stored or left long term in contact with a leather sheath. If left untouched it can eventually pit the surfaces of areas where it exists. It may come off by simply rubbing briskly with a soft cloth. If not more aggressive methods such as Semichrome or similar polish may be required.

I'm late to the party on this one, but the OP's knife looks like a JA Henckels. The stamp on the Henckels is very faint (example below), so maybe the stamp on the OP's knife is very faint, or maybe it was never stamped.

I’ve got another nice one in stag , was told possibly Schrade IXL , brass all one piece, most Pakistan 110 knock offs are separate liners and bolsters and poorly made , this one is spot on
