Any info on this folder?
Keith Zimmerman:
Folded its 4.5 inches. Blade is 3.75 inches. Corkscrew is 1.5 inches. Scales are bone.

I don't know but I like it.... I'm in folder collecting mode. Super cool. I'm not sure when they started putting corkscrews on knives, but that's where I'd start. French or late 19th or early 20th I would guess....
Keith Zimmerman:
I took some steel wool and cleaned it up a little bit since I took the pics. My buddy Stan Hollenbaugh thought maybe last quarter 18th century. Ive had it for awhile after finding it in a shoebox at a gun show for $5. Ive been thinking about having it copied.

Could be. Especially if French, or possibly Italian or Spanish.. I think the corkscrew is the kicker. I love it though. Very nice example. Expert will chime in I'm sure..
