I think it is a superb example the rib on the blade is nicely forged and is of excellent quality. I would place the age around around 1950 but could be a bit earlier. You did well my friend

As I previously said---mid 2oth century. I think we tend to forget that we are now in the 21st Century! Agreed 1950ish....mid 20th century.

Over a thousand pounds of Walrus Ivory was confiscated as contraband by the Alaskan Authorities last week in one raid .... not fossil .

Old habits die hard .
