Hello there knife geniuses! I'm reducing my collection, and ran across this little guy, need some of your knowledge.
marked "ZENTIH japan" (not zenith) misprint? 5 inch blade, sawback. looked all over the net and cannot find a single knife marked like this. can anyone shed some light? thanks in advance!

for sure reminiscent of the Colonial and Imperial blades. looks to be well made.

No idea. But it looks like a sawback variation of the "Original Bowie" knives that came out of Japanese factories back then under various
importer brands. Sabre model 631 comes to mind as an example. That "Zentih" does like a misprint.
