All About Pocket Knives

This a single blade lock knife without and makers identification. Its a carbon steel blade with a simple folded brass scales.Its 7.75" open not including the bail and the blade is just under 3.5".
I've photographed is along side a turn of the twentieth century British army type knife. I have my thoughts that will share with you later but I don't want to muddy the waters.

Looks like a Mercator K55

Cheers for that it certainly does look like the knives on your link thanks. Blown my theory out of the window!

Ive had a look at the link and some other sites referring to the Mercator knife and it looks like this could be a copy but without any stamps I'm not sure. gerry

In the last picture it looks like there is a number stamped on the bail. Or maybe it is just that my morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

Here's one that I have.
I think your is quite a bit "way cooler" than mine.

Mine is 4 3/8" closed.
