Yes , should have been clearer here too ....
what I had meant to say ought to have gone something like : even upon magnifying I can't tell the nature of methods used to make the detailing upon this knife , nor any hallmarks , due to the clairity of the images .
I'm also wondering if that handle has a rivet-ish (roll pin ?) connector securing it to its' blade ?
The one posible hope for this item , IMO , would be if it bears any 'hallmarks' that might indicate origin or metal used .
I'm really only guessing that this is a 'tourist' item , dadmumbrill .
