I'm just curious as to who made this knife. Has a Rose picture etched & next to it "hand made" under that 440 stainless steel.

Like I said, just curious. I been using this in the shop for years to split dowels and wood blanks, sometimes with the help of a hammer. Was sharpening it and got to thinking that I have no idea where it came from or if I'm beating on something better used elsewhere. Has brass & laminate handles.

But I would bring it into the hacienda and keep it within reach. It's odd, a little trashy and looks like trouble if it comes to that.
