It's so thin it's like a fillet blade, it'll bend nearly 90* about 85* is as far as I go and it comes back true without a warp or bend. The heat treat on this thing is phenomenal. There's no pattern #s and it's certainly pre Eisenhower Pen. It does have some markings stamped into the Tang on the pile side of the main blade. IIRC it says AG1 on the other side.
It's been suggested it was an employees knife that would explain the unusually thin ground secondary blade. Did you notice the swedges on the secondary blade? Tough enough to grind a blade thin enough to bend 90* and return true but then to grind a double swedges in the same blade is the mark of a Master Cutler. I'll get some pics up tomorrow of the stamp and the swedges. If I can't find a pic of the blade bent I'll take another one.

This is going to be a GREAT THREAD! I don't have any that old, yet, but I'm going to really enjoy seeing these vintage vixens!Post your Tested knives please, fixed blades and folders, 1920 to 1940 only.
Here's my humble little collection of 4 users. Hopefully I can add a few more as the budget allows.

Erdelyi that's pretty awesome blade alright, wonder if the cutlerer had a purpose besides showing off his skill in mind when he made that one.

Both of these were gifts from different BF members. The Case/TB single blade Sowbelly wrapped in Winterbottom Bone scales was won from TTLARbb in a GAW a bunch of years ago and the 1/4” aluminum plate with the Case logo milled into it came from a member I know who asked to remain anonymous.
He made this one too.

I admired that Sowbelly from afar for a long tine. I don’t know of that sunset bone is everyone’s cup of tea, but something just appealed to me. Eventually I came across one at a knife sow, and fortunately it was very reasonably price.Both of these were gifts from different BF members.
