This just in from Oriental Arms. This is what Artzi says:
"The origin and use of this type of folding knives is not very clear and there are numerous suggestions ranging from knives to clean opium pipes to knives for cutting and inscribing on palm leaves. The origin is most probably from the Indo-China area. It has a 3 inches blade, hollow ground, 2 1/2 inches back spike with silver plated strip o the spine. Ivory handle. 6 inches fully opened. Very good condition."

Any other insights/comments
