Veritable Sauzede knife

[OLDE CUTLER]

I wanted to post some pictures of what I believe is a French made knife I have. I picked it up at a flea market a couple of years ago and have not been able to find out much about it. AAPK member Na0po74 has given me the info that in his home country of France, these are referred to as "couteaux Suisse" or as we might say here in the US "Swiss type" army knife. I was wondering if these are commonly seen here in the US, and thought some of the AAPK members who specialize in foreign knives may have seen these. On the pics you can see that there is a handle recess where there seems to be something missing, possibly a cork screw? Also on the back of the knife there is a tool that resembles an awl, however it does not have a sharp cutting edge like an awl and is a rounded triangular shape. Is this possibly a rope working tool or fid? Anyone know where in France this may have been made and when? It looks like it is a good quality knife and does take a good edge. It fits in nicely with the rest of my camper/scout knives.

Looks to be a typical French made utility knife with the corkscrew missing. I did a post on them awhile back. Made by many manufacturers with quality that ranges from terrible to exquisite. Here are a few from my accumulation.
