Pretty cool pattern, great looking knife. Is the back of the blade shaped like a Marlin Spike or is that an illusion?
Kind of a half moon shape.Round on the back,flat on the front.

First time I've seen a punch like that, thanks for posting.

According to my old eyes that is a very beautiful, practical and desirable old knife. Love those bones.

That is the Union Cut co punch design used on all their KA-BAR branded knives to at least WW2. You gotta beware if you see an pre-war KA-BAR with any other punch. That is a GORGEOUS harness jack!!

I have this knife and could use some assistance helping me decide exactly what it is.
I think it’s called a trapping knife??
According to my research it could be from 1897-1909. Does that sound about right?
I understand it’s not in impeccable condition, but does anyone have an idea of what I should ask for this on Ebay?
Should I try and clean it up myself before posting it?
Thanks for your time!

I believe it's sometime after 1923.

Nice pre KA-BAR knife. KA-BAR branded knives began in 1923. What's the closed length? A 4 inch knife is called a gunboat. It appears to me the blades have been dressed up since the spey blade doesn't have a choil. It's still a really nice hard to find knife.
