Their website calls the newer version a “fisherman knife”, but this particular one is long out of production I think. Okapi moved to South Africa from Germany in the late 1980’s I believe so it was obviously made some time after that. I also have an Okapi shell-handled “barlow” with no blade stamp which is the spear point one you can see in my initial post. I carry that one a lot. My very first Okapi which I purchased in East Africa in the early 90’s also had no country of origin stamped on the blade so I think maybe there was some sort of transition period while they worked out the new tooling.What is this model called? It is a new one on me. The only Okapis I have seen have the external back spring. Of these, the winner in my book is the Biltong, with its snappy sheepsfoot blade. There is one in my pocket every day.

Edit:
I gave my Dad a Biltong and he loves it.
