<p>oooh. That looks like some good reference material! thank you!</p>
<p></p>
<p>After perusing the catalog and making my best guesses, (due to no numbers being found on this knife - yep. I looked again) The first number would have to be an 8. then the pattern number... not sure about that. the pattern looks <strong>very</strong> close to the 83, but is only 3½" long and not 4". I could not find a similar knife pattern that was a little bit shorter. the last digits, I believe would be…</p>

<p>So we would have : <em><strong>8##4¼K </strong></em> Just need to find the correct pattern now to fill in those two missing numbers. BUT! we are getting closer!</p>

<p>Based on this, I think the knife was made between 1917 and 1946. Quite the time span, but it is getting narrowed down a little bit.</p>

<p>The thing that is really giving me a problem is that lone 'blade' on the left. It is not a blade at all, as there is no edge on it. Could it be a punch of some sort? I thought leather punches has more of a point to them, so I am confused.</p>

<p>I cannot find any numbers on the knife at all.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Other than that punch (or whatever it is), I think it looks a little like a stockman. Well, it has a spey blade instead of the sheepsfoot too.</p>

<p>I apologize for not thinking about this sooner... Seeing the knife with the blades showing would probably help with any kind of identification.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hopefully this helps!</p>
<p>(it was trying to rain when I tried to take this photo, so please forgive the few spec of water on the knife)…</p>
