"Jowika Stahwlarenfabrik Eugen Weber & Altenbach KG was the full name of this German mfr of low-end mass market cutlery. It began prior to 1928 under the name Kleinwefers; became Jowika some time prior to 1939.

Jowika opened a branch factory in Listowel, Ireland, in 1960, which was acquired by Imperial Schrade in 1978. Closed about a year and a half before Schrade closed."

First fixed blade I've seen!
Got no idea how to value it?

Here's a few shell handle folders. They are no where near the quality of the "solid constructed" ones.
Man, these things were made CHEAP!
