Hello knife friends!
This is my very first post with pictures. I hope i have done everything right.
I have got three very interesting knives that i would like to show you.
I have no idea what they are, who made them or where they come from - so lets call them 1, 2 and 3.
1 being the smallest and 3 the largest one.
Here you can see them all in one picture. My camera doesnt like macros but i tried my best.
Starting with knife 1.
Its a small knife with a really cool design and suprisingly good quality of the mechanism.
I got it from my mother who got it from her mother or maybe grandmother.
It took me a while to figure it out. At first i tried to slide it open and thought it wont move because there was rust inside (it was more rusty than its now, i cleaned it a little)
After a while of trying to force it i figured out that all it needs is to move the little brass knob to the side and the blade can be slid quite easily. There is some kind of stopper in the middle, locking the blade in half its length. (turned it around so you can see the other side as well)
Another one is obviously at the end.
I would love if someone told me what it is. As you can see, the only thing i can find on it is "1950" which didnt help with my google search at all.
Its design and size are awesome and i have never seen anything like it. It would make a great EDC knife if it was in a better shape.
Now lets talk about knife 2
The story is fairly short. I found it in a forest. Given how bad the knife looks id say its been there for a while. It must have been a gorgerous piece when it was new though.
I cant really read whats written on the blade. I dont even know if its home made or a production knife. Couldnt find anything.
Here are some measurements
I really like the decoration on its back
There are file cut notches on the blade, which give the suggestion of this being home made.
Suprisingly it can still be opened and closed quite well. Cant say that its very confortable though since the brass decoration on sides was pushed out (probably by water) and cuts my hand. Perhaps its an old anti-slip feature
Look at the liners and the decoration rising out of the wood. Poor knife!
It has no lock but holds allright, i wouldnt be too scared of it closing on me.
Again please help me find out what it is. If by some big coincidence this is a home made knife and you are the owner who lost it, tell me where and when it was lost and you might get it back.
And finally knife 3
This used to be my uncles (he passed away) I would guess its some kind of stilleto, but then again it looks very home-made-ish too. "INOX" is wirtten on it i think. You also can see a piece of its spring inside in this picture.
Its fairly large and scary. Has little rust and isnt very sharp (luckily)
It is spring loaded and opens quickly. The safety feature that slides up and down only locks the push button and not the knife. It is VERY easy to slide up and down so i dont think it would stay in place anyway.
It opens easily but my problem is... I CANT CLOSE IT! the blade gets stuck in the metal piece and even has a little knob that fits in the little hole. The only way i found i can close it is if i slide a piece of metal under, which tends to be fairly dangerous.
If anyone knows anything about it, especially how to close it the right way (if there is some) Id be happy to know.
Hope you enjoyed this post, have a nice day.
