Great Grandma's Kitchen Knife

While visiting my wife's folks this week. Her dad showed me this knife. He told me that it was his grandmother's kitchen knife. He knows that when his grandparents imigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800's they brought this knife with them. His grandparent's were from Vienna,Austria. The parts of this knife that I found most interesting are the ferrel. Also there is the false edge ground only on one side. The are no marks to identify the manufacturer. If anyone has any idea's let us know.

You will not normally see a maker mark on any kitchen knives of that era from Europe. The reason for this is because many of the craftsman as well as butchers were of Jewish heritage and no mark to be used in the preparing of meats for eating would go against the Jewish faith.
I have done some kitchen cutlery set, as well as many paring knives and I normally wioll not mark them due to this reason.
Just my two cents worth of knowledge.
