Pradel, made in France, I don't know when, but I'd guess  1950s.  Never had one, but I'm starting to get into the European made SAK-alikes, some are quite decent.  I see the things selling for around $20.

Thanks mate  :) I did find a few pics on Google with pradel on the main blade , my friend had about 4-5, 1 had tortoise shell handle and another had Mother of pearl ,this one looked the more useable condition wise , I look forward to getting it ,pics will follow  :salute:

I have a knife very much like that one.  I'll try to get some pics of it today.

I can't say as I know much about them myself, except they seem pretty decent and, as you know, they are made in France.
