Picked this one up at the local flea market yesterday for a dollar.The vendor told me a quarter but I had no change so just gave him a buck. Thought at first it was unmarked and then I found it on the right side of the blade almost against the ferrule. Stamped," BokeR USA Stainless" Thought at first the handle might be casein plastic but it is celluloid.If you look at the end of the handle it looks like they had a couple of thin sheets of celluloid and rolled them up while they were still warm almost like layered Damascus. The dark spot along the side of the handle in impregnated into it.Cleaned up some scratches and put an edge on it and it is now out in the kitchen for awhile.
