What is this?

Trying to figure out what this knife is and how old. It has no branding at all on it aside from the circle shield with nothing on it.

This particular knife gets posted by someone new just about every week, it's called a wecan'tseeit because you need to create an account with an image hosting sight such as photobucket and post a picture.
Seriously though it sounds like this is some sort of
traditional type folder lime a lockback or slipjoint. With it having no markings it could be an older cheapo Japan made knife, or an even cheaper Pakistan knife in which case it could easily be as recent as 5yrs old since Pakistan is often just printed in ink and could come off with minimal use.
BTW in case you decide to ask about value your not allowed, though it likely won't have any anyways.
