that would be a LEpre swinguard, i might not have spelled it right, but it definitely looks like ones ive seen.
i think they might have had a rabbit on the tang or something.
good knives with good lockup.

Possibly Rosa of Maniago. These were made by several makers. I doubt that it is a LePre (Venier.)

The Venier's made these knives for "Rosa".
No, I'm not happy to see you, that's my 12cm "Red Rose" in my pocket!
