Description

I've never seen a knife like this and could not find anything similar online. The knife appears to be stainless steel with only Paris stamped on it, but the handle butt is stamped "rolled gold". The gold part is definitely in 2 pieces, and the pearl part is in 7 strips. THe pearl parts seem to be held on with an orangish glue of some sort.

Overall, this knife looks possibly hand made because you can see hammer marks on the end of the stainless part by the pearl and it's not perfectly symmetrical, etc.
