I inherited my father in law’s knife collection. Lots of amazing knives. I’m having trouble identifying the maker of 1 of them. Please help. It has markings stamped 502 on blade and sheath. I couldn’t find 502 as a brand with a quick Google search. Is there a 502 brand or is that the serial number? It’s a beautiful knife as you can see.

502 is a grade of stainless steel and that may be what the stamp is indicating.

Handle material looks like some kind of bone, dosen't look much like antler to me. If I had to make a guess I'd say the bolsters are nickle silver.

Thanks y'all. Still on the hunt. Mike, I agree that it doesn't seem like antler. Very well made knife.
