I’m helping a neighbor out by cleaning some of his grand dads knives. He has this auto ASTOR made in Italy and I can’t find anything out about it. I finally found a video that I think has this one from the 50s, pre ban. Any help would be appreciated. The handle I thought was wood but I’m thinking horn now.

Astor Italy
Hi folks
I’m helping a neighbor out by cleaning some of his grand dads knives. He has this auto ASTOR made in Italy and I can’t find anything out about it. I finally found a video that I think has this one from the 50s, pre ban. Any help would be appreciated. The handle I thought was wood but I’m thinking horn now.

Re: Astor Italy
Sadly someone has tried to sharpen the blade, distorting it's shape.
