All 3 in nice shape, the Old Timer 18OT seems to have a shortened blade but still a nice little knife. The Kutmaster is in real good shape with jigged delrin. And the third I can't identify and seems to have bone handles and with the number 30 must be a production knife from some maker.







 
Nice find. I have grown to really like the 180T. Mine gets pocket time frequently.
 
As you say, that Kutmaster is in great shape.
Maybe someone will recognize the tang stamp on the German. Kind of looks like an elecrocuted squirrel to me, which doesn't ring any bells.
 
Very nice, particularly like the Kutmaster. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Yup, nice full blades on that Kutmaster.

Couldn't find a thing on "Hammered Forged".

The mighty mite is your quintessential "sheeple friendly" (sorry) watch pocket knife.
 
The German knife tang stamp looks like a Lion with his tongue out and his right paw up - not quite rampant. OH
 
I have a better pic of the Lion? Or maybe a Griffon? Ill post a better one. Thanks.
 
Oh, yeah- I see the lion. Still don't recognize it. "Hammer'ed' forged" is something else I don't think I've seen before.

This is from a Griffon straight razor.

I dunno.
 
Comparing the Griffon to a Lion, my stamp has no wings. So I'm thinking Lion or some kind of cat.
 
Those are some nice finds, PCL:thumbup:
Where did you find them?

Ya.

The Griffon stamp varies quite a bit and it always has that identical stance, and your lion has that weird tongue.

Still, I think you're right. Just a thought.
 
For what it's worth, I found a knife with the same tang stamps (identical lion, "hammered forged", Solingen Germany) on that auction site, but the seller doesn't seem to know anything more about the manufacturer than has shown up here so far. Not sure if it's legal to post a link; I found it by a Google search using "lion tang solingen".
