Found this little thing at a local antique show today. I really dont know if its the world's smallest but I thought it was kinda cool.


 
It appears to be a shadow pattern,too
Cool.

Now you'll be able to whittle down those those pesky nasal hairs, George. :p
 
No its the single blade red pocket worn bone SS. Its a great small sway back. I would like one in cv but I also think Case's SS is pretty darn good.
 
That is such a cool little knife!

Are those cast aluminum scales? If so I bet it dates to the early 1900's or so. I think I read someplace that in the early 20th century aluminum was sometimes used.

Very cool knife.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

PS; wasn't there a well known knife maker in the 30's that used cast aluminum handles?
 
Jackknife, I think it is aluminum. It looks pretty old to me. I can't read the makers mark but it says it was made in Germany
 
Can you post the model # of that Case swayback please. Thanks to you it is now on my radar.:D

Case is also doing this pattern in CV in the new Chestnut Bone series but in a two blade knive, Wharncliffe main and Pen, model 7007.
 
I thank you for the info. My wallet may be a little lighter within a few days.
