I found this folding knife in an antiques shop for $20. It was described as “Damascus Steel Folding Knife”. No makers mark etc on the knife. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!
It’s a cheap Pakistan Damascus steel knife. Mass produced, dirty steel. Do not use on food.
R.I.P $20.

That is a Pakistan special. You overpaid by about $12-$15. Appears to be a buck 110 clone. It’ll cut things, but it’s not worth much. Fake Damascus

Typically, in future reference, you’d expect a maker to put some sort of symbol on their blade to signify ownership, similar to an artist signing a piece. For example, $30 Kershaw collaborations feature the Kershaw branding and the collaborator’s maker mark.
