Yes the knife does fold out to full length, but does not have a locking mechanism at that length. Possibly something missing to allow it to lock at that length. At the shorter length it locks fine. Then press the button on the side of the handle to release the blade outward. I never did remember seeing a scabbard to it. At least as far back as I can remember. But who knows, me and my brothers could have lost it when we were kids. I do remember playing sword fighting with my older brother with this knife and an old civil war sword, I think it was called the "old wristbreaker". My dad used to beat our asses for playing with them like we did. Now I know why he did. Needless to say they both survived our childhood and now I own them.
As for the folding knife I'll keep looking with the information yall provided so I can find out as much information about it. My dad always wanted to know what it was used for and where it came from (country origin and year). He is in his mid 70's and his health is deteriorating pretty badly these days. Hopefully I can pinpoint the exact origin about it before he passes away. He came by my house recently and was looking at it and just having some old memories about it. I really think that particular item is the one thing that reminds him about his father the most.
Thanks for the information
