Wayne, the california knife originated in San Francisco from 1850 to 1900 the biggest makers were Will & Fink and Michael Price, this knife is not a true copy, the sheath is close the handle is not it was designed by Franz Marktl, I made three of his designed knives in the California style. Go to the internet and look up Michael Price and Will & Fink there is lots of info. on them Deane
