    Good day all

    I recently bought this knife in a grab bag at a thrift here in South Africa.

    Could anybody please assist with identifying the type of knife as well as approximate age?

    I realize there is a lot of damage but would like to know if it worth having a restorer look at it.


    Kind regards.

    Alta.

    I tweaked you last photo a bit, it was difficult to see detail.
    I now see a dragon and a Chinese/Japanese character, so I'd say it is Chinese or Japanese.:)

    Looks like it's made to look old rather than actually being old.
