Based on the picture, considering the materials, appearance of the metal oxidation, and wood deterioration. I use a specific trademarked algorithm, carry the one, square the denominator and add .333 to the result and I have determined the exact age of the knife at the time the picture was taken is 102 years 4 months 7 days, 2 hours and 16 and half minutes old. Happy now?

Is there a number or tang stamp on the blade?








And I guess while you have it open, you may as well sharpen it.
(Let's see if anyone takes this reply seriously!)

Nice find.

I think that is bone rather than wood on the handle. Please recalculate.
