I found this in a wall in my home, just not sure what I have.
here is a wooden handle, brass top and engravings with the word INDIA in it -- but hand engraved.
Believe I have an old Indian knife | ||

I have one very similar but mine is marked Pakistan. Mine is from the early 1990's. They were popular with kids back then. My son bought this one for his collection. It was all he could afford at the time.
I looked everywhere to try to find a marking like made in China or something, But I've found nothing.
I've been searching the internet & ha e found nothing close to this yet, other than the bottom of the handle.
I appreciate any help with identifying what this knife might be. I might just keep it for my own collection. Just wanted to know what I have & is it valuable. Thanks everyone
If your sheath is original to the knife you are going to need to go back a number of years. You are looking at the knife, look at the clasp for a moment. When did you see a modern knife with that type clasp on the sheath? You may need to post on a knife collector site but you can join most of them for free.
Thank you so much, & I will post it on a collectors site. Maybe it will turn out to be something original. I hope so.. ????
I have a couple of sites on my other computer I can post tomorrow. I am not a collector but fell into a bunch of knives I needed to research. Another member here assisted me and I happened to save some of the links. People on the sites are knife lovers and more than willing to share what they know.
Very much appreciated, hope to here from you tomorrow.
As fhrjr stated your knife is a modern overseas made item.
I see similar constructed knives all the time.

This is probably a good place for you to look for answers from actual collectors.
