Hello all
New member here, been browsing for a while.

I was wondering if anyone can identify this knife.
This is/was my first real folder. It was given to me about 8-9 years ago.
I know its not the best quality in the world but I have been EDC'ing this knife for about 5 year of actual use EVERY DAY! and the blade has never been sharpened. Believe it or not it still has a great edge to it.
Well time came to get a new EDC folder and I was going to give credit where credit was due and try for the same brand.
However, I have no freaking idea who made this thing. :foot:

heres some pics

Anyway, any help would the great.
Thanks

well after looking for a bit longer all i can find is some refrences to Astroller in what looks like german.

is this the company Astroller? still around ?
Thanks again

Astroller does seem to be a knife maker. The only helpful Google reference I've found refers to some knives for sale and one in particular by Astroller as being "liner-locking with ball release." This appears to be what you have.
 
I don't get it, the patent number is from like a century ago, and it's a german brand made in Seki City Japan.

weirdness
 
It's a liner lock with a button the pushes the liner over to unlock it. I have a Swiss army knife, and a traditional that use that system.
