I found this knife when cleaning out my grandmother's house after she passed away almost 20 years ago. My grandfather started carrying it as his pocket knife sometime around 1930, according to my mother. The handle looks like it is mother of pearl. The blades were heavily tarnished when I found it. My young and stupid self took off the rust with a sandpaper wheel on a Dremel (I know I know, stupid.) Other than that the metal feels very soft, so I tend to believe it is iron or a steel with a very high iron content.
There are no markings as to the brand. The large blade is simply stamped "USA" The small blade has 3 rows of numbers "2284833" "2689400" and "2479855"
