My wife had obtained this knife some years before I ever met her, and it's her favorite.
The only thing I know about it was that it was given out by the bank where a friend of hers worked, who in turn gave it to her, so that's why the bank's name is marked on one side of the blade.
The knife is stamped "Vernco Stainless" on the other side, and I gather that Vernco either went out of business or was absorbed by another company who discontinued the brand name.
I was trying to find some more like it, hoping to find some vintage Vernco, but I'd settle for other makers, but the unusual blade configuration with the finger slot through the blade and the blade extending all the way under the handle is the type of knife my wife would like to get one or more of if I can track down any.
Would anyone more knowledgeable be able to tell me exactly what nomenclature is used for this type of knife?
That would make it far simpler for me to feed into a search engine to find more like it.
