Seeing some fascinating antique knives on this forum (Thaeris!), I saw this last week, and it really attracted my attention. Aside from it's interesting stamp, it also had a nice aesthetic to it. Finally, it shouldn't present any problems with coming into the country.
So here is this Antique French Pocket Knife, from 1820, with a very interesting stamp of an eye on the blade.

Besides, I don't take responsibility for the knife...I blame Thaeris, and that works for me....:shrug:
Thank goodness, ya had me worried there for a minute.

Strange, I thought you'd have gone with something that had LOT wider blade. :roflmao
That is a nice looking old knife.
Now get your exploring gear, sharpen up your googlefu, and go hunting to see who the maker was. ;)

We anxiously await your results.. And hopefully while you're tying up hours and hours looking to match that mark, some of the rest of us can snag a big, fat razor for cheap. ;)
Well - haven't found any information on that Egyptian eye mark on the knife, but I found a large W&B or two, one huge 8/8 + Celebrated Hollow Ground with stainless steel scales, one day listing only, but alas, neither are cheap by any means....:shrug:Quote:
