From what I know it has Rostfrei and no other markings. I purchased it and I was told it would be shipped today. I should have it within a couple of days as it is not far from where I live. I will post pics of it when I get it.

This is what the description says "Never carried or abused. Part of a collection from early 90's. Likely italian. Solid action, fast and very little side to side play in blade for these types. ROSTFREI stamped on blade. Liners appear to be brass".

Scott, was it advertised as an 8" knife? Though certainly possible, I don't see many of the Asian clones at 8". Usually, the 9" Asians are larger than the Italian 9" (I think).

It doesn't say the length,but I think it's under 10". I could be wrong.

In the pic it is next to a ruler. So, 8" something.

By the ruler that the photo has, it looks to be just over 8" (8.5"?).
