Sorry, Charlie, I have no clue.
This is a common pattern, flower (poppy or tulip) and bird are common to Central Europe. Maybe made during WWII the only moment Slovakia was " independant " (as long as a puppet can be that is...) before they definitively split from Tchecoslovaquia more recently.

Thanks, Alain!! Poignant answer!! I hope all is well with you!!

Put this knife in the harness jack thread but am going to put it here also as reference.

Schrade Cut Co made with a. Dasco tang stamp, Dasco was and is a tool maker in Rockford IL that also sold knives made by other companies. Knife is close to unused.

Added a very nice and unusual Boker swell center or coke bottle jack to the pile. 3 7/8", great bone, etched, double rat tail bolster. looks to be 1899 to 1920's.

That's a great knife! And your assessment of the bone is spot on...great bone. Why can't anyone make knives with bone like this any more?

Gorgeous Swell Center there Augie!!

Why can't anyone make knives with bone like this any more?

Because American workers want $60 per hour to do manual labor. And it can't be too hard, either.

Found out today my Robeson 622119 English Jack does not date from 1922 to 1939.



It dates from 1911 to 1921, according to the tang stamp.
