Oddballs!! Not your usual cutlery!!

[waynorth]

If by "coprolite" you mean "horse poop" then yes, I think waynorth is in possession of that grail!

It's the third knife with the "Horseshoe" shield!! Genuine Thoroughbred Poop!!
Came from a racetrack in Australia!!! I no longer have guardianship!!

I'm not sure these quite fit the definition of oddball as I suppose it's mainly the handles that make them different. To that end, I think I recall reading here once about a knife handle made from a stabilized coprolite.

An Italian 'Roman' pattern, complete with ratchet and carved dog's head. Not quite as amazing as yours, waynorth

A checkerboard handle; the checkers are corian with ebony at the ends and core.

These two are quite literally lacquered sticks, smoothed a little, but basically raw.

Alas, it always puts a smile on my face and a chuckle in my heart to see it!

Thanks, Charlie!

Here's a French knife with a glass-cutter, and among other things, it has a small spring balance

No name on the tang-stamp, but probably made in Sheffield I think.

Imperial Schrade, a combination of companies, had quite a rich history, and apparently quite a collection, before it closed!!
C. Maselli from Frosolone, Italy, was an associate of the Founders of Imperial, Michael and Felix Mirando, also of Frosolone!! Here is one of Maselli's knives from the collection!!
A creatively-shaped Bolster really makes this knife!!
It has half stops also!! And it's a nail breaker!!
