I bought a damascus lockback on eBay and the owner could recall NOTHING about the maker. The price was right, $250 so I figured WTF! The knife is a very well made piece with a 2 3/4 damascus blade, pinned interframe lockback. The blade is stamped "BALD". I've never heard of this maker and my search of Knives '02 and '03 don't show any listing. There are some minor flaws in the handle material which appears to be either ebony or horn, possibly G-10, but I doubt it. The knife has a nickle silver "S" shaped bolster and is VERY similar to some of the low-end ($500) Tommy Overyender makes.
My question is does anyone know of a maker by the name of Bald, or have makers ever stamped a blade like this that did not meet up to their standards?
