This is an Eye XL Cutlery small copperhead pattern knife. The handle material is listed as pearl in the product catalog , the blade is Stainless steel.

The blades have some wobble, but they have a good snap.

The Eye XL Cutlery line was produced under the Carl Schlieper German Eye Brand in Seki, Japan in the 1960’s - 1970’s. Their logo is a modified Eye over “XL” on the tang stamp. These knives are not the same exceptional level of quality you find in the Schlieper knives that were made in Germany, but at that time Japan was still recovering from the war, but they are definitely rare and a decent little knife. Plus they hold a connection to one of the finest knife manufacturers in the world from the 1950’s - 1980’s.
