Identity help, please

Post by Bluff Monkey_313 »

I can find absolutely nothing on this knife. Not on the name, trademark or existence of a company, ever. Please, anything would be a help and of some use. Thank you in advance to anyone for anything useful. Even if it's just somewhere I can do a search.

It's a straight razor for shaving one's beard. Here's all I get from Google Lens.

It's not a knife, but a straight razor. Probably French. Don't know what "polidoraine" is, could be a proper name, but "ala bastide" literally translated means "of the country house".
Good luck with it. J.O'.

I think polidoraine is polisher or burnisher. Never seen the mark either. Could be French or even Portuguese but those are just wild guesses.
