Sorry Marcus, I don't know enough about them to reliably date that piece, multi stacked layered handles were common 140 years ago, but Id guess or suspect yours would be middle third 20th century piece., given the inclusion of red plastic? in the handle layers.. Good that the blade has the raised projection though, not just flat sheet steel.
For your & Ians interest, & for the forum in general, here's an excellent & quite in depth article on them & there extensive history. {Hit the translate button unless you speak Spanish.}
I thought it made excellent reading.
It translates very well.
