Help with a George Wostenholm

[Lorne Williamson]

My father left me a older George Wostenholm, I'm guessing it's pre ww2 and a type of scout model, could someone help with approximate age and actual model type,
Thanks Lorne

That's a nice old pre WWII Wostenholm slant bolster camper model.
It probably dates to the 1920s to 1930s. Is there a file on the other side of the screwdriver blade?

Thanks Herder, yes there is a file on the other side, your picture is the knife I have, not sure if it was his fathers originally but he was a junior Canadian forest warden back in the mid 30s or so.

I think Herder nailed it, nice knife! Those Sheffield blades take a nice edge, I would oil it up and use it

That's a great pic Herder

Here's @smiling-knife 's 1930's catalogue image



I have an example, but the blade is worn

Thanks Ernie, and another nice example from Jack. I've always liked the look of those slant bolsters.

Looks like the bail is on the other end of the OP's knife from the catalog page Herder posted. But not on the one Jack posted.== I looked again. Jacks catalog post shows side by side pics with it on either end-hmm--KV

Good eye, didn't notice that.
