bought this at the flea market today..first eye brand I have owned..i have heard they are pretty nice knives....this one isn't perfect but I bought it for cheaper than I bought my lunch.....just trying to figure out how old the knife is

this knife is wood handled...






u can faintly see the eye on the blade in this pic...directly under the nail nick
