Hate to say it Joe...but IMO a fake. The parts are old but not the tang stamps. I saw that one on Ebay if memory serves me right.

Thank you, Steve. After I had it in hand I started wondering. I can't really say why.
It's not a perfect world. It will sharpen a pencil.

Its a great pattern...lots of character. I do think that the blades and the fame are all antique just not Russell.

I still don't know anything about fake knives.....but I do like the pile of rusty nails you got there!
Fake or not, it's a cool lookin' knife!

Thanks for all your comments, guys.
Scott, those old nails, most of them hand made, came from a house I helped disassemble back in 1999 or so. The earliest part of the house was built in 1880s.

Joe, I like that knife too. Genuine or not, she's a real beauty.

Thanks Jerry.
I'd like genuine better but I'm learning.
