Are all the knives in the picture on previous page the ones you bought ?
We need to see the entire knife with blades open, lying flat and picture taken from directly overhead, no angled pics as this distorts image.
From blades closed it looks like it could be vintage German, but could also have a different origin. Blades open will tell us.

Roland:judging from the way the nail nicks are cut and the bail I think it is of Japanese origin and not all that old.The German and other European models have much better placed nicks.

Ray, i have a red 'fibrox' handle vintage German multi-blade and the bird's eye rivet, bail and placement of the 2 handle pins are all the same as on this OP knife. Even bail details look the same.
Hopefully we will soon see pictures with blades open and close up of tang markings and then we will know.
