I forgot to include something for scale. The closed length is just over 1 1/2". The horseshoe on the front has tiny rubies and teeny diamonds. The 3 leaf clover (?) on the back has 3 rubies. Walk & talk, all functional aspects are fine.









I'm sure this is a Henckels made knife, so pre 1960, but beyond this Henckels are hard to date because they never made any changes. A knives made in say 1920 looked exactly the same when made in 1950, etc.
If you are able to put a date range for this little knife please post.

Unmarked other than Solingen and rosfrei on the spear point, gutter and saw. There's a little piece of stag broken off the scale by the cork screw tip. No half stops. Looks to me like a Puma but my Dad couldn't say other than he bought it in Germany about 1968.

Lots of great looking knives in this thread. Some fine examples. Great collection Wazu, I really like the last one you posted. KJ, those Henckels minis are really cool. I've only seen minis for sale a few times, but never with the bling that yours have. Do you think that was added by jewelers post factory? Maybe Germania over on Bernard Levine's subforum can help you on dating them.

Diamonds and Rubies and Pearl, oh my!! :eek: KJ, the bejeweled good luck charms on the iridescent pearl make that a very memorable mini!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Four "Löwenmesser" by Lütters, Solingen.
Not very vintage, but made by one of the last companies, that still produces in Solingen.

funni, is "Löwenmesser" the name for a certain style of knife ? or a brand name used by Lutters ?
i have a small collection of Lutters, very well made knives, on par with the original Henckels i think.

This is marked Pauls Bros NY ECHO brand, it's pre 1900 and I believe made by Krusius Bros.

Best regards

Robin

Löwenmesser is a brand name by Lütters.
I think, this style is THE traditional knife for my area in Germany (Westfalen). Most farmers and workers carried those knifes in the past.

Pitt[sic] Bull "Bull Terrier" stockman, I believe from Bulldog. The apparent misspelling on the tang stamp does not appear to be common among Bulldog's knives. I am not quite sure if there is any significance to it, but this is a well-built, attractive medium stockman that doesn't shy away from cuts.





Anton Wingen Jr. spearpoint Barlow. This was my first Barlow, the knife that basically started it all. Spartan, unpolished cut bone when closed up, but when that spear master is deployed you can see the handsome bohemian elegance of the knife. This will probably always be my sentimental favorite.





These two knives offer five different blade profiles, they perfectly complement each other and make a fearsome twosome to carry. A microcosmic statement of German efficiency. :thumbup:
