Pradel knife info. ?

Post by leggo »

From what I've researched this knife might be a reproduction or the real thing. It's either French or English made . Some research shows that the boat anchor makes it real. Some says it makes it fake. Anyone know ? The guy I bought it from claims it should be worth more than $300.00. I paid $30.00 for it. Main blade says ' Pradel ' on it and inscribed next to it is supposed to be a boat anchor , it looks more like a hatchet to me.

Sorry I don't have any info, but believe the stamp over Padrel is a file.
Very nice multitool knife.
