Mexican fixed blade knife

[Termite]

Ran across a nice fixed blade Mexican knife I know nothing of Mexican knives and can find nothing just wondering if anybody knew anything about this.

Looks like a German knife made for the Mexican market, can't see much detail in your photo. Germans made a bunch of knives like this in the 1950s-60s.

The Aztec calendar on the blade is very cool.

I am really liking this one, very cool with the dark stag and blackened blade. Add a long british/euro style can opener and corkscrew and an aztec calendar, and WHAAAT...thats a keeper. Any tang stamps you can zoom in on ?

Wow! That's conversation piece and a keeper. J.O'.

Thanks guys for all the comments little bit of information it's going to be a tough one to find anything on it but that's okay I really like it. If I can figure out how to get a second picture on here I'll get the other side.

No tank stamps only markings on the blade was Mexico and the calendar

Definitely has all the aesthetics of German craftsmanship. Reminiscent of old school Othello, Puma, Gutmann, etc. I have seen a lot of Edge Brand Solingen knives from the 60s with a very similar look and design. What's the blade length/overall length?

[Termite]

Blade is 6/1/8 oal 10

That’s a very nice knife! And I agree, looks very German to me.

Termite, I came across this one on Ebay which has the same length and also has the corkscrew/can opener in the handle, and the Aztec calendar stamping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165985064268?m ... media=COPY

Appears to be made by D. Zissu. I don't know anything about that maker but doing a quick search online, it looks like they were based out of Solingen.

Thanks for that info I didn't even see that one looks like I got the better deal though

Sheath style, European stag quality, blade style...I definitely would say it's made in Germany...the south American market was a big target for Germany in 1950/60's...looks like a Linder or Othello style knife!
