Thanks guys.
No scabbard with it. I can't be certain if it is real ivory, having only seen the photos. Could the blade be brass??? Seems odd. Although I have seen lots of those Thai souvenir folding knives with bright brass blades. Much easier to work than steel, and does not rust! BRL... |

I have adjusted the photo and it looks like rust to me so the blade is steel and not brass. Lew |

Louie, Bernards 4th sentace is "The owner tested the blade with a magnet, and it did not stick. " So rusty steel seems unlikley? Spiral |
