Custom knife ID

I know this is a very long shot. Knife is over 30, maybe 40 years old.

Father's name was engraved (blurred out).

Footprint logo is only marking on knife.

Thanks. He had a couple made by this same knifemaker but I'm not sure what happened to them. This one made it to me via my oldest brother recently. Happy to have it.

Hey GeauxLSU , head over to bladeforums.com. There's an old thread that was revived last year about Louisiana knifemakers. Over 75 at one time. Maybe if you post a pic, one of the collectors can identify for you.

Thanks. Made a post. That dude is SERIOUS about his Louisiana knives! Apparently has several threads with more makers.

Apparently the maker was fairly prolific from some Google searching.
