Hi Lew,
Nice knife, with a copper blade, I think.
I've found another one on an old site I've captured...
It is attributed to the YAKOMA / SANGO

Tim

You ever hear of a copper blade that sings? When you pling it with your finger the blade rings quite nicely.

Lew here is the picture from Westerdijk's book. N.11 seems similar to yours.
