My attention was recently grabbed by knives with single blade and a cap lifter. It all sterted with the GEC beer scout knife, than I have discovered that there were some more #15 patterns with clip point blade and capl lifter.

I find this combination really interesting. So I am wondering - what are the options (apart from custom knives) that offer single (preferably clip point) blade and a cap/crown lifter?

I am curios to see what you've got :)
 
GEC made two versions as a SFO for Charlie called the radio jack. They did one with a clip and one with a spear.
This one is not mine anymore but here it is.

GEC later did the crown lifter with a clip main before they did the beer scouts.

I don't have one but the Hartkopf knives come to mind.

I do have a #15 Radio in Ebony as well as Charlie's Radio Jack with spear blade.

I know you said besides customs, but this one is semi custom I guess. A forum member did this one.
 
Thanks major! The jigging & colour are especially nice.

The radio is a Mende from about 1943 made in Dresden not long before the city was obliterated in hideous air-raids. It's long defunct but makes a nice ornament in the old house.

Cool! Might just be a tube or two that's gone bad. With a little digging, many old "firebottles" can still be found.

Relevant content, let's see, cap lifters with one blade... Nope, don't have any. I do have a couple of SAKs with bottle openers but all have multi-blades, scissors, awls, etc.
 
Here's an old Colonial that davek14 sent me that meets matus's criteria:

I was just looking at some German knives and found another option, the "Linder Klaas 3 Special Edition"

I found one online for about $80 shipped, looks well made and the steel is 440C.
 
Well, this is my One blade And Cap lifter. Geo. Schrade/Boker wire jack.


I don't currently have a 1+1 option.

Carboniferous, that Klaas looks really nice indeed. Here's some of mine from GEC:
