An unusual knife. Can anyone help in identification, etc?
I picked up a knife that to me appears to be a bit on the unusual side. Photos tell the story better than I can. The tang is stamped with KB in a circle. Here it is:

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.

About as close as anything else, Jan. You may be right. Thanks for the insight.

Could it be a "rope knife?"

The only 'rope' knives I have heard of, are sailor's knives. But the ones of those I have seen have a little more of a 'cleaver' like blade. That pronounced hump on the spine is throwing me off.

Looks like a budding knife, to me, George.
Perhaps a Victorinox clone.
KB, I have no idea.
