Hi Fearn
Let me learn.
On what basis do you sugest this blade is recent 20th stuff ?
Is it for the one only picture, or are you familiar with this pattern ?
Having you such an eye for fake blades, i consider i am luky this time you didn't sugest this one could be bought at Atlantic Blades ( this the name ?). I had spent an hour cleaning it, first with penetrating oil and after with soaked sand paper 360. Some crust points remained. So the dark shades, the steel texture, the little failures in the sharp edges, the irregular edge shape lines ( sorry for bad lexicon ).
This knife has cost me 65 dollars. Hardly a drugstore would sell a blade replica with such intrincate "antiquing" for such price.
But inevitably i tend to accept yours or any other members expert opinion as, for example, i ignore yet this knife possible age.
Humbly.
