Any Info on this fixed blade?

[tyrannis]

Only markings on the blade read "Veritable 152 Inoxydable"

Looks and sounds Spanish. Toledo, Spain maybe?

PRADEL of France used "Veritable". and an anchor in the stamp.
There's also a G.DAVID & FILS, (sons), France, who may have included "veritable" in their stamp, and should have a crossbow mark.
Veritable means "Genuine" and "Inoxdable" is French for stainless. So, that just means "Genuine Stainless". Nice piece, looks French, Good luck with it. J.O'.

What's going on at the Rusty Rooster?

[Ridgegrass]

Red: I've saved a few gems out of his $4 box. The Boker Congress below was perfect except for the gassed out scales.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

French made, maybe even export model to French speaking parts of the world ( former colonies)?

[tyrannis]

Well I picked it up an a tackle box in the south of USA its possible

[Ridgegrass]

Can you show a close up pic of the stamp? Might help. J.O'.

[tyrannis]

Those are the only markings on the whole thing

[Ridgegrass]

Well, that makes it French or French colonial. Don't know if knives were made in any French colonies ? Stainless didn't catch on until the 19-teens so it can't be older than that. Is that notch in the blade spine from damage or intentional? Just curious. With the aluminum mounts and rivets in the sheath it may be 50's-60's ???? O'.

Thanks for the info Im pretty sure the notch is intentional, as its the blade lacks any other damage, and its pretty smooth

I'm wondering if this might be the folding version of the OP's knife?
Similar stag, similar pewter/aluminum looking hardware...
Marked only with a very faded version of the Henckels logo.
Any thoughts?

Almost forgot, to AAPK, T-Rex!

[tyrannis]

Looks close enough! I got a lot more info than I was expecting Thanks
