Hi Dave,
If you consulted the thread you mention, you should have no doubts that yours is a traditional Canary Island knife ... most certainly 20th century, i would say.
And if you use the search button typing Canary knife, for one, you shalll find more material.

Since I am by profession a scientist, I believe there is always room for doubt. You are right, however, that I had very little!

Oh, i just dared to be precise because this is the type of knife which is has an unequivocal and only provenance, contrary to many other items.
I have had one myself some time ago and went through an accountless number of articles that there are out there in the Web about these naifas.
BTW, i will PM you about some other item.

Now that I know what it is, I am discovering all the info on the web. I was interested to learn about the varieties of Canary knives from this article:
