<p>Based on the tang and the pull this is a re grind and black lip is what I would suggest also for the handle material. When closed do the blades seat all the way without being tip up? MOP is not an easy handle to work with so I am thinking the blades seat the way they should and this is likely a very well done modification of an older knife</p>

<p>I cannot tell about the pearl, might be a "black lip" pearl but that's difficult to tell without seeing it in person.</p>
<p>The blades are narrow because they have been ground down severely from their original shape. If you look at the tang, you can see what I am talking about. I'm guessing this is an older knife that has been ground down, polished and rehandled. The scales look pretty nice tho!</p>

<p>No guesses on my part but I did want to comment. I have seen this smokey mother of pear before but my collection does'nt have one. I have not seen blades like yours, I think it is very unusual.</p>
