A Real Nail-breaker - winner selected

Jack,

I'm still totally rocking my TINA budding knife (plus the various Owl accoutrements), so this is not an entry.

All the same, I am intrigued by the Clasp Knife pattern, most certainly because of your own interest in it and all that you've invested in sharing it with us from afar. Thank you.

Good luck, everyone. :-)

Thanks for the opportunity, I'm in. I've seen a few of these at flea markets but always in terrible condition.
 
It is a gem of an ole knife and I am in!

Thank you for the chance Jack.:)

Not an entry but very nice GAW.

Funny thing is I just arrived back at the house from a knife searching trip at some local antique dealers. This is the first post I see when checking out Bladeforms.
I had purchased a British Army Clasp Knife in really excellent shaped at one of the shops. It was marked on the can opener SSP 1944 with an arrow point beside it.

Strange but true.

Any chance of a picture, K.K?

Nice GA, Jack! As usual, not an entry!!
 
I like the look of that set up.I have a similar knife minus the spike and half the blade but the can opener is incredibly hard to open and snaps like a faster than a snake.It is marked "TURNERRY(something) AND CO SHEFFIELD ENG"
I especially like the Bobbys whistle -reminds me of.....

That is a coincidence K.K. There's a whole army clasp knife thread somewhere, and sorely in need of updating.

Sounds like you found a nice one :thumbup: The arrow or crow's foot is the War Department acceptance stamp. I was carrying a '44 earlier this week.

Count me in. I was just looking at these as for some reason I have been wanting a knife with a marlin spike. To be honest I have no idea of why I want one though as I rarely work with rope these days.

The spike is at least easy to open! Surprisingly useful too :)

Glad you're still enjoying the Tina P :) If you change your mind, the army knife has both a screwdriver and cap-lifter! ;)

LOL! Classic! :D
 
Get in on this everyone, I absolutely love the Clasp Knife Jack gave me - it has a special place on my Hike Bag, its a great thing being in the Beautiful New Zealand Bush, and to think of my friend in England when I see that knife.
Thank you Jack for your Generosity my friend, this is a very special place with great guys like you - and good luck everyone.
 
Wow what a great GAW Jack! This is not an entry, but mine is a toolbox knife that I inherited. Wickedly tough knife and tool, equally tough to open and I'm convinced it will do some serious damage to anything in it's way when it closes. Demands respect, just like the fine Gentleman who owned it before me.

Cheers!
