What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[mbkr]

I needed a couple of 10mm bolts to hold down my machine vice so was rooting about in an old toolbox I bought as part of shed clearance when I bought another lathe. Lo and behold but what do I find, another rusty old piece of junk masquerading as a knife. I had to google this as I had never heard of them. "Jowika" it looks a lot like a "Richards" if the steel is as good it deserves some TLC.

"
"Jowika Stahwlarenfabrik Eugen Weber & Altenbach KG was the full name of this German mfr of low-end mass market cutlery. It began prior to 1928 under the name Kleinwefers; became Jowika some time prior to 1939.

Jowika opened a branch factory in Listowel, Ireland, in 1960, which was acquired by Imperial Schrade in 1978. Closed about a year and a half before Schrade closed."

It's a shame the BF search software isn't worth tuppence these days, I've made a few lengthy posts about Jowika over the years

A fine pair for the office Paul

Another foggy and chilly start to the day in the City by the Bay! Received notification from the USPS that the Forum #34s are OFD. More on that later. Keeping me company today is the snakewood lamb and with a nod to Two Blade Tuesday something smoky.

I find a Canadian belt knife transfixes beans with awe, thereby preventing their flight.
