This is most definitely a mass produced knife. As Henk has pointed out, these are still produced in all different levels of quality since they are a traditional part of Scottish garb. This one looks to be a somewhat nicer one than many available on the market today. Since they are not really made to be used, but just as a part of the traditional dress, you don't see them as particularly high caliber forgings very often. Is the gemstone glass or actual topaz or citrine?
