Hey everyone! I was out looking for PK’s today and found this knife. This looks to be bone with a beaded glass eye. Anyone have any information? Here’s a picture of the haul from today.

I think the Push Knife is 'home made' and nicely done especially with the eagle image carved into one end. Not a factory made production knife.

Pretty sure the dagger is a home made affair using the handle from an old walking cane and inserting a blade from another dagger. I don't think it is very old as a push dagger. Cool idea for sure.

I would almost bet there was a complete cane assembly this went with. Still pretty neat on it's own.

I disagree, if it were a concealed in a cane dagger it would have to have a strong ferrule at the top to keep it in the cane, and likely a mechanism to do so.
