Maybe this could be an Wehrmacht electrician´s knife, (cable dismantling knife, cable stripping knife, cable sheath-splitting knife), indeed ?
Who know´s ? ...
Such pattern knives later also were used in the Bundeswehr but, with specific markings.

Thanks! The problem is that it is totally unmarked so as I understand it is hard to say is it from WWII era or not.

What makes you think it's German? Looks a little like a bottle opener.(beer or pop).I think it is American 1920,1930

Not possible to tell, in fact you could still buy these brand new today. Without ay markings its impossible to put a date, or even a land of manufactory on it.
Remember, the Germans love to mark their quality knifes Solingen!

I think that the following knife was from may fathers Bundeswher days...its hard to read but it says Othello and its a gravity knife...in really bad shape and super cheap construction(i expected better from Germans)
Yes, it´s the Bundeswehr Kappmesser "Modell 1956"
