Pioneer knife.

Hi
The knife handle has the very characteristic shape of a
Faschinemesser
A german working knife issued to engineers and pioneers for cutting sticks and small branches faschine is a bundle of sticks and messer meaning knife

Maybe this along with the german exporter idea of Berkley would add up
I have a few similar examples in storage if deemed helpful I could provide photos, different material on grip though
Google and you will find numerous types and examples
Regards
Ken
