The handle is made of some type of horn. It measures 17" extended. There is no maker marks on it anywhere. Thank you

    It does look like it. I found what they call a Saca Tripas Knife. I'm not sure which one it is.

    Oh yeah, that is similar also! I kinda like the term "Spanish Naval Deck Knife" more than "Vintage Mexican Folding Knife" though - LOL!!!!!!

    Saca Tripas means "Gut Remover."
