Can anyone identify this knife?
It is 3-7/32 inches long and 39/64 inches wide.
No markings on the file.
Blade at other end, same side as file, is marked: CWEDEN (not sure about the N)
Blade opposite side of of file is marked: 10
Any comments on the images and their significance?
Thanks,
Dave

AR8Jason,
That is not a broken blade, it is a fingernail file & a point for cleaning under fingernail. There are no markings on it.
The blade is definitely marked: first letter C. It could have been mis-stamped and should have been a S.
The other blade with a rounded tip is marked: 10

Thanks BELLIN68 & AR8Jason for the appreciation,

Dang! Your Good!
I have the knife in front of me and didn't notice that. OK, got it opened.
Broken blade tang is marked:
EMILOLSSON

Last line is very hard to make out. Maybe you can figure it out by what I think I see.
Thanks

Thanks AR8Jason. I guess the most important blade is missing. Glad I'm not a pocked knife collector.

Thanks Hunter, musikchoo & vetraio50 for the appreciation.

AR8Jason,
So, what I saw as "EMILOLSSON" is really "ESKILSTUNA". And "EMILOLSSON" is "EMIL OLSSON" and I missed the broken blade!
I'm making a EYE DOCTOR appointment Monday morning!
Thanks Kevin for all the information.
