Got a new(to me) folder today..

Don't know what it is, who made it, or where, but it's NICE. My Dad called me up today, said he had something for me. Boy was I surprised. He said he got it from an older lady having a garage sale.

Its a really nice, looks like hand made, folder. Damascus blade(~5'') and bolster, maybe some sort of horn handle, not sure. Also some nice file work on the back of the handle.

Anyone have any experience with this kind of knife? Or what it might be worth?

Any makers mark or other identifying marks?

 

[edeekeos]

No, unfortunately there is NOTHING on it anywhere

I dont usually get excited about what I would call a "gentlemans" style folder, but that is a real nice looking knife.

Congrats

 

[whocares]

is that a liner lock or no?

 

[edeekeos]

yeah, its a liner lock. is that more or less significant?

I am still kinda wondering if this is real Damascus work, and not etched. I tried my best to get some pictures of the 'layers' in the steel. It looks pretty legitimate to be honest..
