Weird trade knife ?
4 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
Found this strange piece at the the flea market. French knife ("batisse" brand) , maybe with replacement grip (?), in wooden sheath covered with tool leather. No idea of where it went after it left France, I welcome any information ! Thanks in advance for your help ! |

Yvain,
I did a search using “batisse knife” and found these two sites on line. The first site listed shows a knife with a blade identical to yours but the hilt is different. The example shown is said to be a WWI French trench knife with an 11” blade. To me (from what I can see), there is nothing on the hilt on your knife inconsistent with European factory manufacture. I think the fish inlay is a shark. The sheath looks northern African. https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/itali...-italy-139568/ https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com...ic.php?t=12981 Sincerely, RobT |
