Looks like your typical 1950`s-1970`s hunting knife imported to this country from Germany by Olsen.

Do you still have the packing papers?

Welcome to the forums.

It's interesting. I've come across quite a few of the knives made by Gutmann Cutlery (Edge brand) and it looks like the same styling. I wonder if the factories were close and/or if they had the same design engineers.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.

I think they may have been made by Anton Wingen as they are very similar in style.The one main difference I see is in the style of the pommel.Here are 4 that I own in different sizes and styles.Bought them all at an auto swap meet for $50.
