I am having some trouble finding any information on this "Fortuna Knife" made in Austria. Dose anyone have any knowledge of this brand? I am curious of the time period it was made (looks within the past few decades). I HAVE SEEN A Fortuna KNIFE from Russia, but the maker mark looks different and of course it is made in Russia, not Austria...

I know nothing about this brand.
From the looks of the handles and the use of phillips head screws it looks more like an inexpensive Chinese model.

I have not seen "Fortuna" before. Although marked "Austria" i don't know if this means it was definitely made in Austria. Some countries allow importation of unfinished knives that then get finished and marked with that country's name. That said, it could be 100% made in Austria.
Maybe Eustace knows of this brand ?

As was stated before it looks to be an inexpensive Chinese knife.Doesn't look anything like the Austrian knives of old.Doesn't mean it isn't a good knife.
