Probably a non-period Italian knock-off of Bargeon's.

This one (or the larger size) would have been more correct.

I love those, especially the Blandine Bellavoir /Elodie Frenck ones. There's some guy in them too.
 
There seems to be quite a bit of traditional knife content in this new Amazon series I'm just watching (Kevin Can .... Himself). Is this one of those RR Scrimshaw kits?

Nice one, Jack! :thumbsup:

The only Rough Rider (or is it Ryder now?) scrimshaw kit I’ve seen comes with a two-blade trapper, and I couldn’t find a RR lockback that looked quite like that, either.

A bit more googling turned up this Böker Gentleman’s Lockback, which I think may be a match. It has the lined top bolster, no line on the bottom bolster, and the angle of the bottom bolster, position of the lockbar cutout and blade/handle shape look right to me.

"Inferno" (1953) with Robert Ryan featured a very cool traditional hunting folder while surviving in the desert with a broken leg. In my memory, it resembled a Puma folding hunting knife with stag scales, but I can't remember enough detail to determine the make and model.

Great movie!!!! Always liked Ryan. If my memory serves me, it was definitely a German looking knife with some stag scales. Good lesson there, NEVER PO both your wife and business partner at the same time! 😮

Great detective work Barrett :cool: I've gifted a couple of those RR scrimshaw kits, so I should really know what knife they come with! :rolleyes: :D :thumbsup:

Especially if they're prone to . . . MURDER!

Good catch, Jack!
I saw that scene, and thought to myself, "That's...not how it works, but good on 'em for trying." 😆
I sure hope the show gets renewed for another season, so I can find out if Kevin does, or doesn't ____himself.

Thanks Rachel, I'm glad I'm not the only one who watched that show! :D I don't think I remember the last time I rooted for a character to get murdered so much! :D ;) :thumbsup:
