Knife Engravings

Gold, metal knife with engravings?

It has a 3" blade, total length (edge of handle to tip of blade) of knife is about 6 1/2". There are engravings on the sheath as well as the handle. The sheath is metal as well. I know it's not real gold because there is a chip on the sheath and I can see metal underneath. Bought it at an outdoor market (central Florida) for a cheap price, but I am just curious if there is a history with this knife. Anybody know if there are more like it? Blade says "Pakistan." Any details that would help me know more about this knife would be appreciated.

Yeah, its a ripoff copy of the A.G. Russell Sting boot knife pattern. The steel is probably recycled Subaru parts and the handle/sheath are brass or bronze coated. Typical tourist stuff sold @ flea markets and the wholesale price is probably half of what you paid. "Pakistan" is not a mark of quality. It was made by some cottage blacksmith sub-contracting to some exporter. Check the third link to see your knife wholesaling for $7.28. What did you pay?

KNIFE ENGRAVING 2

Real or fake Swiss Army knife?

I recently bought a used Victorinox Climber Swiss Army Knife on ebay. I want to know if it is real or fake. It may also be a older model. It has all the same functions as the real one, but the engravings on the blade make me question its authenticity. On the main blade, it is stamped "VICTORINOX; SWISS MADE; STAINLESS" and on the other side "OFFICIER; SUISSE". However, it does NOT have engraved the sign with the cross under the umbrella. It is real or fake? Please give as much information that you can provide. Thank you.

it's genuine, most of them either have Victorinox or the cross, not both, "OFFICIER; SUISSE" is also a great indicator.
