I guess these Chinese lockbacks count:

These are actually my wife's knives. They belonged to her father. He worked for Ma Bell for many years as a lineman, installer, repairman, etc. After he retired and was widowed, he remarried and often drove a wrecker truck for his new wife. He also owned a ranch in the Texas hill country. I went hunting there a couple of times, and got to drive a WWII era Jeep around the place. Anyway, he used his knives hard. That second one had adhesive on the blade, as if it had been cutting duct tape, and it's scratched like crazy. Also, he probably broke the tip and then reground the blade, or else he sharpened the heck out of it. And the second knife was made by a company that became Benchmade, I believe.

Here is a trip around the world: a Spanish-style knife originally made in Germany for export to Africa and popular in the Caribbean, now made in South Africa. Pictured here with Somali sweets which arrived in the mail today direct from Minnesota, about a third of whose inhabitants are of Scandinavian heritage.
