There have the Monument... The Lion Monument, or the Lion of Lucerne, is a sculpture in Lucerne, Switzerland, designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and hewn in around 1820's

Beautiful knife, Michelle-- The "Rostnever" stamping on the blade is German for "will never rust" or basically, stainless. I have seen other similar knives with the same "Dying Lion of Lucerne" and Tell images and the Helvetorium Fidel ac Virtuti inscription that were marked--Joseph Feist-Solingen- (Germany)-Circa 1898-1924.) The tang stamp they used was Omega or just the greek omega letter--Not saying your knife was made by them, it is just very coincidental.

yep.. Good thing.. i did find in ebay. Somewhat I target to see that knife. I decide to bid it for $25.00. Few days later other bidder total 20 bid... 20 bid for almost $105.00???. Until last final hour almost run out of the time. Very struggle to bid what i want this. I have no choice to bid last minutes.. I bid $110.00 very quickly. I win...

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
