Lierenaar - a knife from the belgian/german border

[Humppa]

I´m glad that this thread always comes back from the depth of the forums. Much appreciated, fellows

Thanks for the historic background and taking time to post that facts here, Jon. Very informative read.

That's a pretty neat knife Andi. Thanks for sharing.

I like it, very rudimentary, and made with use in mind. The lock in my mind isn't too far off, from the Okapi, style lock. Which the Okapi is a German knife originally. I always enjoy your threads Humppa. I like any thread dealing with some sort of obscure, ethnic folder, made with use in mind. It's mind boggling how many there are.

I like it.
Nothing fancy.
Just functional.
A blank canvas for embellishment.
Cheers Andi and
wunsche ich Ihnen ein frohes Weinachten.

good point, I agree the Okapi is influenced by the Navaja. More info with pics here

Interesting link, thanks. These knives are so different, yet alike.

Hello everybody
Is there anybody in Belgium producing Lierenaar knives? I'd love to get one made in Belgium, since I'm collecting knives from all around the world and all I can find are made in Solingen, Germany.

No idea, but there's a Belgian Knife Society you might ask.

OK Very interesting, but it's a German knife, not a Belgian , une fois!

@Jolipapa Oh, alright. An article got me wrong
So is there a traditional Belgian knife? Like an ethnic one?
