Thanks Joshua, I find that tool useful for striking a ferro rod I've sometimes wondered if the screwdriver was for adjusting the sights on an ancient Mauser or something!

Those are both good uses I hadn't thought of! It could probably pop the tube top on a GEC tube as well, eh?

Do you think a chap could get a hole through a leather strap with a musky blade?

I bet you could.

The awl on my Bruckmann is pyramidal whereas the one on my Washington Jack has a groove with a sharp inside edge. I discovered, while making a home in some plastic for a snake my son caught that the groove allows you to turn the awl and make a smooth circular cut into whatever you’ve punch it into. Very cool and not something the Bruckmann could do.

A little different variation, the cleaning tool for a pipe smoker's knife. This one has an extra blade as well, a scraper, by Schrade for Abercrombie and Fitch, NY NY.

I have a few Pipe Smoker's Knives Lee, I'll see if I have some pics

That's very interesting Joshua

The Punch on this IXL Whittler looks quite unusual

Looks like the groove may be for digging out a small quantity from a larger container (gunpowder?).

Perhaps, I really don't know. It's from the 1930's

The knife is a Bruckmann. I don’t know what the other tool is beyond a screwdriver and perhaps a wire stripping aid.

Bruckman is a new one to me. Learned something new

I found out about them only last year. Apparently they were a German company that went under during WWII. A.G. Russell went to Germany in the 70s (if I recall correctly) and bought a bunch of the Bruckmann parts that had been made, but not yet assembled. So many of the examples you find are old in terms of manufacturing, but unused. The ones I've had have all been really well made.

Lovely! What is that stag beauty at the bottom?

It is a camping knife made in Thiers, no maker stamp.

That was cool. Do you know how old it is?
