Nice knife. I've had them made in Germany, Spain, England and I think (?) Italy also. Good to find them with most of the hair still on them.

Very nice tidily made knife,

It will definitely be made from a Roe deer hoof.

These as you say were made very often in Germany, but this appears Scottish.

Best,
Richard.

It is a Spanish navaja of relatively modern manufacture, circa 1950, and aimed at the tourist market. The bolster appears to be made from German silver sheet beaten to shape.

PS I forgot to comment on the bodkin and I am not sure of its provenance, as it could have come from anywhere.
