A guy at our local knife club meeting thought it might be a tobacco knife.  I was hoping that some of the more experienced older members might shed some light on this one.  It is cerrtainly an interesting old knife, at least it is to me.

I have since polished the litte bit of rust off of the area where the tang stamp is.

I have never seen the like.  That blade shape is completely new to me.

But I am not a big folder guy either.
