Re: Requesting Knife identification
Welcome to AAPK Sharp carbon.
Your bottom knife is known as a Puukko.
How bizarre
. Earlier today I posted the below information pertaining to such.

Yours appears to have a little age. (That's not a bad thing)
Your leather sheath also has the four points toward the bottom to signify the four directions of the wind- North, South, East, West and is common on many Puukko sheaths.
Nice knife.

It's always important to know what you don't know.

Re: Requesting Knife identification
Thank you for your response and information. My father brought this knife back from WW2. He was in the North Africa, Sicily & Italy invasions.
Don’t know how it would have gotten that far south! Lol .
Thank you again.
Best regards

Re: Requesting Knife identification
Welcome to the forum. Is there something engraved on that blade on the front side under the zig zag pattern? I can’ make it out when I enlarge it.

Yes there’s something, but I can’t make out what it is.

Re: Requesting Knife identification
I’m probably way off here, but seeing it makes me of a Gaucho knife. Could this have come from Spain?

Re: Requesting Knife identification
I have no idea. I purchased it for $7.50 at a gun show with my father about 55 years ago. The guy I bought it from didn’t have any information about its origin.
The small bead type pommel appears to be brass.
