In Honor of Oktoberfest!!

[Blues]

This is a Hen & Rooster USA Bicentennial knife from A.G. Russell...The images are from fewpop which is appropriate since Ford was kind enough to send me one as a gift:

Nice Elliott, and as we all know, Ford takes great pictures.

Here's an older workman's knife, made in Solingen.
My best information is, it is a "sacking" knife. One would use it to open/re-close/repair sacks of grain/ feed and the like. Maybe for handling barley in the beer industry!! Happy Oktober!!

Great buncha knives in this thread! Yet another Bulldog here. I forget how long it is, but it is LONG!!

Found one more in my archives. The only German made salesman's sample I've ever seen, but I am sure there are more!! Here, the tangs are stamped on both sides;

More great examples guys. To answer the question posed earlier, the scales on the World's Fair knife are aluminum. Here is another of similar construction. This one must be from the 1930s as it shows the Delaware river bridger.

Thanks for the compliment sunnyd. Those are two great stag-handled knives ... I especially like the club shield on the Bulldog.

This is another souvenir knife. Not sure of the date on this one. Any ideas?

This was my EDC for several years back i the mid-80's. I was stationed in Bavaria. Now it's relegated to kitchen and picnic duties...
