SA/Camper Style - Maker ?
I picked up this interesting well-built knife at a local gun show over the week. Celluloid handles with dragon motif. Main blade, saw and scissors marked STAINLESS on tang. No other markings I can discern. Seller suggested post-war Japan made. Any thoughts on this to verify?

I cannot help with identification, but I think it is a very neat looking, unusual design. OH

The very neat dragon does suggest Japan and early post WW II is my guess as well.

You are lucky you saw that one first Saturday or I would have snagged it.
