It looks to me, like a pattern commonly called a "corsican vendetta knife" - a french folder. There are several makers who produce current models. That one looks like a Zuria brother's piece.

Fresh from the tube today. Wooden Wednesday of all days.
#23 Northfield Cocobolo -beautiful grain.
I have avoided Cocobolo mainly because I don't like the word "cocobolo" for some strange reason.
I think its because of that appalling yet catchy holiday hit tune from the 80s-the one that went "ooh ya ya coco jambo ooh yah yeah":barf:
Gee I wish I had an organised brain.

That is absolutely amazing. This is the reason that I chase wood over everything else.
WOW WOW WOW!!
Congrats on that one!

Today it's the old trusty opinel number 6 that I bought while backpacking in New Zealand several years ago. Performing it's usual task of slaying apples (sorry for the grainy picture).

 
Great wooden wednesday for me! I received the new companion to my beloved 100-year-old Schrade today.

I had hoped they would be as similar as possible.... darn near twins if you ask me! Except for the caplifter, of course. :)

Wow, that's a lovely old Schrade! :thumbup: And a very nice Radio Jack too of course :)

 
I just finished up putting walnut handles on this classic sharpfinger copy in 440C @ 57-58. I've never found a better small game knife.

I actually prefer the name Dalbergia retusa over Cocobolo.:rolleyes:
This one just called out to me with its distinguished and unusual figuring of the grain.
The 23 is probably at the upper limit of size for a folding knife.
The secondary blade on it is longer than some primaries!
I had my sights set on an ebony #12 but this one pipped it at the post.
A couple of beauties there Lemmy .
and the centurion schrade:thumbup::thumbup: wow.
I can see more wooden handles crossing the ocean in the future.
