My dad bought this knife for me as a Christmas present, more than 20 years ago (he died in 1989). I'd seen it in a San Antonio, TX, gun/pawn shop and the owner said that the blade was D2 (he also has passed and the store has been out of business for several years). Anyhow, I think it's a very nice knife (non-locking) although the spring is extraordinarily stiff.

Anyone familiar with this one?

I don't know anything about the maker, but that sure looks like a really nice knife!
 
<< ...is it a user? >>

It's nice enough (style/feel) to be a great user and the blade has a very nice hollow grind (not to mention a very classy look) ...but the spring really is way too strong to be handy. I suppose that with enough use it might ease up, but for day-to-day use, I prefer a one-hand opener like a Spyderco or Benchmade.
 
Nice knife.

Good luck finding something on the maker. I've done the search on a couple of knives from "no-name" makers (makers that didn't hit the nationally recognized popularity level) and the searches were generally fruitless.

BTW - lack of popularity doesn't equate to a lack of craftmanship or skill.

Wow! I did quite a bit of "Googling" earlier this year and came up empty. I take it that "Knives 85" is a book?

Thanks for taking the time to look it up and post.
