Ethan Switchblade
Hello,
I need some info on a knife that I found years ago with a medal detector. It is 6 inches open, with Ethan and below it Italy on the tang. I believe the outside of the knife is made of silver, and the mechanism does not work.
Any info will be greatly appreciated

Hey Chris,
Nice find! I'm no Ethan expert but no, I don't think it's silver, it was originally covered with a plastic type material, and called a shell wrapped (Ethan). Very sought after stamp, but that blade has lost it's lines, the wrap is long gone, and I don't think those are the easiest pieces to work on; but it may very well be worth looking into it.
Good luck,
--J
