I think I found the oldest one hand opening knife!

Hi everyone. I got this knife recently from my grandfather! He is 84. No idea he had this! His uncle used it in WWII. The only markings on it is Wheat Shear or Sheaf knife. The best is. It uses one hand opening with a large thumb stud! The blade with the thumb stud as one can see has been used to its full extend! Hope you like!

The small blade with the "thumb stud" is a can opener blade.

That's a very nice knife - the stag is beautiful. If you have any questions about age or origin for it, post it over in the Bernard Levine Collectors area, with some good straight on photos and closeups of the markings. We'd all like to see it over there.
