patch knife?

[Juice Jaws]

Just because you think “patch knives” weren’t a thing doesn’t mean THAT knife isn’t original. There have been knives in all kinds of shapes and sizes since before we were making blades out of metal.
It’s hard to tell from the picture, but the styling and patina seem to be consistent with a 19th century piece.

It's a nice knife, but not a Old Original Patch Knife.

My two bits is the knife might be a harness makers knife or a knife to be use in some kind of leather worker's trade.

Show one, just one, example from an archeological site that has a blade shape even similar to the one pictured and then you will have a better idea of its age.
