That has to be an Eickhorn The guilding is just great. Can you show us some pictures of the blade? You almost have the portepee tied right but not quite. But there's no need to be ashamed of that. It took me quite some practice to get it right. The first time it took me over an hour LOL

Here's a close up of the right way to tie it.
