Solingen head scratcher

[rinos]

well, it is for me,but surely knowledgeable porch members will come with something interesting like pattern name maybe

when i found knife at antique fair,wood was so black,i thought it was ebony,but after some cleaning it become bright reddish (almost like paint )but after few days it started getting darker ..
construction is very solid and heavy,with strong springs-real nail breaker(done that ) )

compared with GEC boys knife

main blade is marked Solingen,sharpens easily and bites too (gave me a nice cut),punch is pretty thick (and brittle as i found out ) i already reground broken tip

eventful knife

huh, interesting, looks like a the marlin spike/harness jack pointy thing!

That's a really neat looking knife. I hope someone comes around that can shed some light on it.

I've seen one other knife similar to yours. I always assumed it was some sort of harness jack.

may not look too good but actually is one of my favourite slip joints

I have one like this, 'new old stock' with the Kissing Cranes tang stamp. Very hard spring. Big snap. I think the spike is a timber scribe... at least I have used it for that and it works well.

Nice find. I really like that punch and how it folds into the handle.

It looks very close to my Otter knives , try to contact them

looks like a harness jack, a bit. you could use it for a scribe/punch/awl/reamer-whatever; but it looks as though it was meant for some heavy labor! tha blade looks like a lamb's foot as well. more than that i couldn't say. get Jack Black to look at it-he and some of the others might have an idea.
thanks, Neal
