Eustace would be the one to know about that.

I am glad to see Bulgarian pocket knives all over the world. Made somewhere in the late 70s, early 80s in the cutlery factory "Sickle and Hammer", Veliko Tarnovo city. The factory has more than 100 years of history. It was founded in the 1920s as a private company and nationalized after 09.09.1944. It went bankrupt 2-3 years ago. Currently the property is sold off by creditors.

Thank you, Yorgen!
By the way, I'm also interested in Russian pocket knives. I've never seen a Russian (USSR) knife with tang stamp "Sickle and Hammer". All knives with such markings presented in eBay as a Soviet soldier knives from WWII are actually Bulgarian, 60s and 70s.
