Here's the back side of the Wadsworth. It's not a big knife measurig 3.25 overall closed. The main blade is a little loose, and still has 2.15" of cutting edge left.

Awesome Weidmannsheil Scout, one of my favorite knives!

Trusty Mercator went fishing and plinking with us today, didn't catch anything but bagged a bunch of soda cans at the range

LOL, looks like I wasn't the only one, a regular Mercator kinda day!

Ok, I faltered... Been carrying the serpentine jack Ken Erickson made for me since Saturday. I also have a Leatherman Squirt PS4 and it has a tiny caplifter on my keys... does it count?

I think when someone has an opportunity to carry an Erickson, the World understands.

Wilhelm Wagner was a Solingen knife manufacturer from 1876 to ~ 1970. Here are 2 examples each of a Trapper and a Cattle knife. They are part of the infamous "New Old Stock", but are very nice knives, like a Schlieper that has gone to finishing school.

Single and double blade Folding Hunters, 5 3/8", big by most standards but medium for Schlieper.

And a very nice, rather large Swing Guard, 6"

Shown with a 3 5/8" Whittler

Oh Boy Roland!!!, I just love that Swing Guard!!! and those AGR's are just stunning, they really are, but how can I forget to mention the two trappers, and those brilliant Hunters!!....thank you for giving me a great lift in seeing these knives!!

 

[puukkoman]

Oh Boy Roland!!!, I just love that Swing Guard!!!

Me too!!! Massive, and classy. :thumbup:

Guess I should post my TOTM participation, as well. I've been carrying my Anker-Messer daily, but that's sorta normal; it sees a lot of pocket time.
In addition, I have another strange German knife that I carry from time to time... It's not exactly traditional, but it is kinda old, and a classic of sorts. I hope nobody minds if I post it. (If so, I'll take it down.) It's an Anton Wingen/Othello gravity knife, I believe made in the 1960s.

Edit: a couple better-quality photos.

 

[rprocter]

Yes, the Schlieper Swing Guard is a pretty amazing knife. It's very well made, the action is smooth and the lockup is solid like a fixed blade. It's the only one i have ever seen. I bought it from the original owner/collector who i think bought it in Germany in the 1960's.
