Looks like a fur trader's knife, Scott. Very cool! 😎
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Sadly, it is a modern fake. One never wants to see the marks put on with individual letter stamps. The HB mark on the handle is ludicrous. Real Hudson Bay Company knives were made by well known Sheffield companies and the stamps are always done with full word stamps not individual letter stamps.
