Does anyone known anything about this brand knife??

[Nev52]

This knife was in a box I purchased of old knives to work on. I am going to rehandle and use it as an EDC. The name on the blade looks like A.BBRTUGAT

Thanks for any help on this.

Please don't hold me to this Nev, but your knife looks like a French Pradel knife to me, but I don't recognize the stamp!

Thanks Marco,
I rehandled it and made bolsters. Buffalo horn. I think it turned out ok. Sure, would like to know about this old brand.

Very nice Nev! Now except for the pins it really looks like a Pradel! EDIT: Don't sweat about learning the brand cuz eventually someone who recognizes it will see it and tell you!

Good save and now a good looking knife. From the photo I read the name as A. BERTUBAT is that correct?

Wow, that is a stunner!
I love the pattern of the pins. Very nice and unusual look.

That 3rd pin was a mistake It was in the scale so I drilled it. Original did not have that pin. But it worked out.

Great job!

I get A. Bertugat

The name is probably BERTUCAT, a French surname. I suggest you try a library that holds French trade directories.

The Bertucats were a family of medieval warriors so an appropriate name to appear on a knife blade. Bertucat d'Albret was a mercenary leader in the 100years war. His son took after him.

Thank you for the information, Rannard.
Marco apparently you were right it is French.
I really like the knife and the way it turned out. I carried it all day today.

You SHOULD be proud of it and carry it everyday Nev! It's a fine job done on a fine knife! And as far as being "right", 1 out of 1,000,000 ain't bad!
