Thanks for the welcome!! I plan on making new scales and using it for a simple whittling device! I have plenty of other toys, but this one is the only one with no identifiers on it.

When the knife your grandfather/father carried or put up is handed down to you...treasure it...open it up from time to time...and by all means, keep it!

Re: New here
I'd say the knife is probably a Thornton USA.
