Thanks Dom for posting the pictures of your Laguoile knives. I too am very fond of them, especially those with hilts of wood marquetry.

The mechanism on Chregu's blade is unknown to me.

Is the blade wootz? I could not say but I do like the pattern. I have not seen a lock blade with a wootz blade, although I'm sure modern examples must exist.

Great find! I love mystery blades!

Looks like an Indian copy of the original British design.

Theve copied them out there since at least the 20s probably longer ago than that,
