Charlie - That Punch!
I haven't seen that one before, its a real hybrid between the Robeson and the Fuller Punches!
I wonder what the Canadian Patent means on a German Knife? *
*I just looked up the patent number, its under "THE PREMIER CUTLERY COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED" Date: 1930-12-30
I didn't get an Illustration with that!

Charlie and other Porchites of the Canadian persuasion may be interested in this mystery I solved today.
Late this morning, I walked our dog to the vet clinic (3-mile round trip) to pick up a prescription for him. On our way home, we walked past Martin Luther King Jr Park, a couple of blocks from my house, as the swimming pool opened at noon. I heard a familiar song playing over their sound system and saw the lifeguards standing with hands on their hearts as the music played. I was having trouble placing the song, but by the end recognized it as "O, Canada"! I couldn't figure out why they were playing that song to start the day at the pool, and then conjectured that maybe it was like baseball games between Canadian and US teams when both national anthems are played before the game, and maybe at least one lifeguard was Canadian. But they didn't follow up with "The Star-spangled Banner", so my idea seemed wrong. Only when I arrived home did I see a news item online that mentioned that today was Canada Day, and I realized the pool was acknowledging that with the selection of the opening music for today!
Happy Canada Day to all!

Wonderful knives Charlie, and Happy Birthday to Canada.
While this knife was made in England by Thomas Turner, it was designed for the Canadian M & D (Militia & Defense) for service during the first World War (1914 as shown).
It features a main spear-point blade, an early style can opener, and a folding Marlin spike for working with ropes and knots.
