Algerian damascus knife
length: 9 1/2"
Excellent late 19th or early 20th century knife of folded (damascus,
watered, or pamor) steel. Traditional "Muhammed's ladder" pattern a bit
lineal, but present. About 60% of the maker's stamp is visible, looks to say
something close to "Mabile Grandmont". The black wood handle is decorated
with reeding and bound by silver ferrules. The tang emerges throigh the
silver buttplate and peined over a tiny silver washer. Grip is cracked on
one side, but still solid.
