It is a champaigne pattern or bartenders knife. The little hole in the handle after the letters B.F. is a peephole. Hold it close to your eye and look through it toward a light and you should see a picture. Sometimes the lens or the picture is dirty or damaged and you won't see the picture. These are very sought after knives.

H Love those old champagne patterns. Your knife dates from around 1900 or so. Called a champagne pattern because of the wire breaker; the stout, curved, serrated blade for cutting the wires that held champagne corks. No can opener on this one. These were often imported by Kastor bros and others from Germany. Does your knife have anyother marks on the tangs at the base of the blades? s-k
