Must have been made on the Polish border. Looks like a Polish Folder to me! (I am Polish by the way.)

Is that really the blade that should go with that knife?

Thanks everyone, as far as I know the knife is in its original condition.

Hello nifenut;
The term folding bowie is more correct than incorrect IMO also. The blade on this recalled the profile of the German Butcher Bayonet. So don't dismiss some oddball military use. Here are photos of a 1936 Carcano folding bayo. I do not currently have a Butcher but they are easy to look up.

That knife looks vaguely familiar…
The brain started telling me something I think, but then it just shut off…again… Sorry.
