Hi All,
Can anyone tell me about this little knife? It appears to have some age to it. The handles seem to be a dark hardwood. The rest of the handles are brass. It is about 4 inches long when unfolded. The construction suggests that it was made by hand.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Info on small antique folding knife?
I should add that I have seen others like this online described as "WWII era Filipino monkey bone knife". I have no idea if this is true of those knives or this one. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!
Thanks!
