Thank you all for this information! I have no reason to believe it's fake as it was given to me by my great Aunt 35 years ago who said her husband brought it back from the war. I thought maybe the engravings would track it back to a family and didn't realize they were the artists mark. I've had it a long time so I really appreciate everyone taking the time to explain what it is! Best, Shane

Also, what about the box? Does that have anything to do with the knife?

Thanks so much for the quick response! Is there any way to tell how old it is? Were these sold / traded or did they typically stay with the same family over time?

Greetings - I was given this by a family member about 35 years ago and know nothing about it. Can someone help translate it and explain more about what it is and where it came from? Thanks in advanced! Shane
