Vintage KOCH Knife Letterpress Printing Block

[SDIceMan]

Picked up this tiny 4.5" x 3/4" x1" printing block today at a garage sale for $1. Features a wood block with a mounted copper image of a knife with a crosshatch pattern on the blade and the word 'Koch'. I see there are several knife makers by this name, or a variation of this name with different initials. Any ideas or input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, and happy hunting!

Nice buy SDIceMan!

2nd - I moved this request from Garage Sale Finds! over to What Is It? for more exposure.

Nice!! I have a friend that collects old presses and blocks, but I've never seen one like that. If that one was used in a press wouldn't the name, KOCH, come out backwards?
