Hello All
I'm new here and I must say what a great resource! I bought this knife recently and the guy who sold it to me said he thought it was Pende. I haven't been able to match it up to anything. Although the silhouette is very similar to a Tetla dagger that I found the construction is quite different. (the Tetla was formed of two symetrical planes welded in an offset central ridge. the blade on my new knife is not offset.)

Welcome to the Forum.

A picture would help greatly if you could post one here.

Sorry, I tried and I think my picture might have been too big. I'll try again...
