Hi Dirk
if I didn't correct this info ...my ancestors will come this night to pull my legs

Laguiole, at ± 11 km, from my native home,
to say ... if I know the knives ... from Laguiole ... LOL
and this folding knife, from far, or from near has nothing corresponding

here my personal collection of Laguiole knifes, excepted the 2 last, Laguiole shape, but manufactured somewhere else


best regards

Typical of both German, and English folding hunting knives. Can be used for small game, and food prep when folded, large game and chopping, when un-folded. Guard pieces look too plain for this knife. Most likely replacements. Any and all, could be Gypsy carried.

Thanks Dom for posting the pictures of your Laguoile knives. I too am very fond of them, especially those with hilts of wood marquetry.

The mechanism on Chregu's blade is unknown to me.

Is the blade wootz? I could not say but I do like the pattern. I have not seen a lock blade with a wootz blade, although I'm sure modern examples must exist.

Great find! I love mystery blades!

Looks like an Indian copy of the original British design.

Theve copied them out there since at least the 20s probably longer ago than that,
