I just bought a knife and it has the inked "Germany" on the pile side of the clip blade.
I think the seller intentionally made this hard to see on the only pic of the back side of the knife.
I have several of the 1990s Parker/Olbertz knives (Holley, Jack Knife Ben, Senator, etc.), and I think they're pretty good knives at the right price point.
But, I paid too much for this one, so it's going back.
Pics attached.
** I forgot to mention that there are visible bolster pins (steel), which would indicate mid-80s or earlier to me
Thanks!
