Deutscher Dienstag (German Tuesday)

I wonder if that is some type of veterinary knife. The "awl" could be a bistoury, lancet or probe.

Beautiful knife, but, after working as a mixed practice veterinarian for 40 years, I can't see how this knife would have made my job any easier. I think I'd want to use it or something similar for working with rope. Just my thoughts. T-A

Otter Hippekniep. Ich habe dieses Messer in Solingen angeschaft.

Is it fair to say the hippekniep is the German version of the American sodbuster pattern?

I believe tiz the uther way round. Old pattern from the change of 1800's to 1900's.
Case came up with the "Sodbuster" name round-about 19 and 67 when they came out with their rendition.
Allegedly the pattern was not popular in the USA until 1968~1969 when the Case version took off.

That's what I meant, actually! I was thinking that German immigrants would have brought the pattern to the American upper Midwest in the 19th century. But I had no idea the American version was so recent .
