I'm not much of an ebayer, maybe half dozen times or so. I did get this little this J.A. Henckels the other day though. About 3 1/4 inches. Scales are pretty thick and in pretty good shape especially after a mineral oil bath. I noticed the smaller blade has a half stop while the primary blade does not. I like the little fella. Remind me again o'folsky folks, what is this pattern called?

That is one superb little half Whittler / Senator / or some very neat type of like pattern , Thompson!

Great minimalist edc come Sunday-go-to-meet'n day or other type of like occasions.

Perhaps if it isn't to much bother, you could post the tang stamp just to determine the vintage?.

Great find in any case.. Enjoy her!

Looks like some kind of sleeveboard pattern.
 
I just checked my Levine's Guide and it is a "sleeveboard pen".
 
I was gonna say sleeveboard, honest I was:D. This is about the best I can do with tang stamp pictures, Anthony. Primary blade has the logo and reads J.A. Henckels over Germany. Secondary blade has the logo and reads J.A. Henckels over Solingen.

Nice knife to be sure. Congrats.
My grandfather used to have a knife like that, but it got .... TROWN AWAY I could still cry :eek: :eek: :eek:
I didn't know it was a sleeveboard, thanks for enlightening me. I'm thinking about everything my grandfather whittled with his little knife. He was one of these one knife guys, but he gave me my first sak. And taught me how to use it carefully. Too bad that I dont know where he got it. Again thanks a lot.

Nice one Rob. I like how the blades are nestled in when they're closed.

I have a small pearl Henckels pen knife somewhere.
 
Rob, you always find the good stuff! ;) That is a sweet little folder.

I don't really understand how you taking a mineral oil bath improves the knife, but hey, there's alot I don't really understand. :D:p

Well my grandfather died last year, while I spend a year in Colorado. We actually talked just a week before he departed in his sleep.
He lived to be 94, and worked about 12 years as a surveyor for the county while farming a few acres.
Well my aunt went trough his effects and when I came home, she told me, that she tossed out a shoe box of 'scrap metal'.
I knew, that was where he kept some small tools to use around the house as well as his pocket knife (he only carried it when he left the house and put it back once he entered).
I still hold it against her. Luckily I was able to save some of his handtools, since he kept them in the shop.

Thomason, that is one very very nice little pocket knife, whatever it's called. I've always thought those stag bolsterless sleeveboards were some of the classiest pocket knives around. It's like alot of those Sheffield knives that smiling-knife makes us drool over.

Yours has alot of drool factor!:D

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
A no bolster beauty there alright. Seems to be a popular style on European knives.
Good to see this and barehead styles too,nice bay find there!

Hey there Peter,

I am so sorry to hear about your Grandad passing away, and it always sucks to be sure!. But then, to have your memories "tossed out" like so much scrap metal,, damn,, that just completely tears it!!.


Wow.. :( :mad: :grumpy:






Some folks just don't understand our emotional sentimental attachment's to inadament objects.

Best,

Anthony
 
Rob, I don't recall seeing a shadow before. I'll check out my catalog copies to see if I can find one.

I'm rather fond of Henckels knives myself. This one has cracks in the stag. :o
