RE: Do you recognize this knife?
I've got nothing but bad guesses... but it is a very pretty knife.
I won (a long time ago) a very nice quality folding knife at a Fly Fisherman's dinner banquet raffle. Theblade has the EXACT same design and shape, only a bit larger and it's a folder. The knife was (ironically) Sweedish made. Picked up on some European trip by a rich-well traveled member and subsequently donated to the raffle.
Knowing that, I'd guess the handle is moose antler... I can offer no assistance on the inscription, not only because I don't speak any foreign languages but I can't see it in the pictures either.
Good luck.. definately a pretty piece though!
