My 16 year old son bought this off a friend, Only marks on it that i see is the Linder Messer Solingen Germany Mark, didnt see any elsewhere
Google didnt yield anything nor ebay, looks like a bayonet only smaller
i dont even know if the blade goes with the handle? or what...

Commercial version of the German "Youth Knife," also sold as boy scout knives. The guard is broken.

Linder offered carbon steel blades well into the 1970s, probably later, and possibly still do.

That looks like a standart pathfinder knife. They are still sold here in Germany. Several companies make/made them.

Kind regards

They are good blades.
