Knife identification

[Roald06]

I got this old knife but i am wondering what exactly it is. I think it says 'solingen germany" and looked it up on internet. Found some similar looking stuff but still not exactly. I hope someone knows this knife and can tell me what it is. Sorry for my bad english and also im new to this website so if i am doing something wrong please tell me.

This might not have given you (and us) all the information you needed. The entry you posted was simply the location of the factory that made the knife/tool.

I am not an expert on this style of tracing, myself. But I'll bet that there are numerous guys here who have similar knives. If there are other stamps, numbers or names on the ricasso of the knife, it might be best to photograph the information and post it.

I'll bet several knowing collectors will have your answer!

It could be me. I have found that sometimes a footnote or picture does not appear on a thread I have answered. I will also check to see if I have made an entry error.

Still not working. You are using the wrong image code. Use the BBCode, the one with the IMG tags.
The text should be this-

A company called Decora made these, post WWII. They were a budget hunting knife here in the US sold through mens magazines, and similar.

Thanks! I didn't expect this because i asked this on r/knives as well and they thought it was from 'solingen germany but they didn't exactly know it. I thought this could be true bc there is something on the knife which says 'solingen germany" i think but its pretty hard to Read. But Both options look pretty similar to my knife.

Solingen is the city in Germany where the knife was made. Lots of import companies here in the US sold Solingen made hunting knives of all shapes and sizes in the 1950s and 60s.
