I hit an older house this past few days and i got a few nice things. One nice thing i got today was a real cool lookin pocket knife. It kinda small about 2-3 inches. It has cool designes on the sides and surprisingly it still opens. It looks like an older style, but the wood isnt rotten, and its not that rusted. Any info on it would be great. It looks to have something written into the deisgn on one of the edges looks to say either "handmad" or Hand sumthin.
Thanks Keith

The brass rivets and wood handle combo,looks to make it '50's or earlier.

It doesn't look to rusted , so I would say no more than 20 to 30 years old. But then again, it may be much older and may have been lost only a few years ago. :)

can we see a pic of the other side of the knife? the tang markings( identification) are on the side of the blade you did not photograph.

Yes, what does it say on the left side of the blade right where it hinges into the handle? Joe

Yea, is it marked?

I'd guess late 40's Early 50's...
