Information for an unmarked knife

Post by jyoung236 »

I have never seen a folding knife with the blade longer than the handle. There are no markings on this anywhere. There is a button on the handle that must be pressed to open it and a regular lock on the back to close it. Two photos are attached. Any info is appreciated.

I've seen probably 50 or so varieties of them. some call em pig stickers or folding bowies.
some have buttons , others levers but all the same basic design.
Unmarked it's hard to tell ,but I'd guess maybe pakistan because it's more boxy than most
U.S. made and all the German ,Spain , made ones (I've seen) are marked.
Knives and minds are best when sharp.

went to levine's knife guide(taken from his what izzit book,1981) similar knife shown, made in india. the brass and blade look like indian or pakistan manufacture to me as well.

Welcome jyoung236. I agree with the previous posts. That knife appears to be an Asian, 1970s-made replica of an old Sheffield folding Dirk. :D s-k
