Horn handled folding knife
« on: December 11, 2017, 04:57:38 AM »
Picked this up at an antique store in Lancaster this afternoon. Kind of primitive, but has a good strong spring and tight lockup. Any ideas about its origin, feels like it could be Middle Eastern, but perhaps not. Kind oc has thd feel of something that could be out of the 18th century but I am guessing it is not all that old. Didn't have to pay much for it in any event.
