The Otter 3-rivet, 3 1/2” blade. Been on a German kick lately. The last few have been Otters, great prices, nothing fancy, good F&F, available, very solid and quite attractive knives.

I like the looks of that Otter. Are those the "Smoked Oak" handle slabs? Looks much darker (and nicer) than the stock photos I've seen.

 

[mrknife]

those look pretty dope!

The covers are smoked Oak and aren’t as dark as the other picture I posted. Here are some better pictures.

Back spring is a bit sunken when closed perfectly flush when open, no gaps, cam tang, solid lock up, decent snap closing.

Centering isn’t bad, not down the middle, but no rub. Feels great in the hand, nice full wide grip for a single blade.

Your additional pics are very helpful. I was going to ask you if the "3 rivets" are on the pile side too but I didn't ask because that might actually be 6 rivets. Now I know for sure.

Thank you for your pics and comments. I like the absence of a half stop too.

You’re very welcome! This knife just wants to go to work. I know an apple isn’t exactly work but I wouldn’t hesitate to grab it to do almost anything. Forgot to mention, I got the C75 Carbon version.

Nice knife! It does really feel great in the hand. Mine has become a true everyday carry knife.

I’d say you did very well, the color in that bone is beautiful!

Thanks! It’s pretty enough to be proud of, but too pretty to put to work!

 

[cudgee]

That is " Some " bone.

 

[Cutfinger]

Picked up these two little guys. Camillus and Robeson. Nice little knives that melt into your pockets.

WOW! That is a really nice Robeson.

I'm thrilled with this one!

Really love this, an interesting pattern, lovely crisp grinds too. Are those corby bolts in place of rivets?








In other news I have what is, in retrospect a funny bit of self Self-deprecation.
In my enthusiasm for George Butler ART trademarked pieces I picked up the beautifully put together piece above.
It was to be used in office environs where pointy is shocking! Food use mostly which is apt considering it was obviously used for some Victorian Corn on the Cob craze.

Ehh not so lol Let's just say on closer examination of the history of this pattern its safe to say I shall not be slicing into my rolls with it haha.

Thanks! As far as I can tell they are just pins with a brass collar for the "bird's eye" look. It is one solid knife, though! What is the cover material of your "corn knife"?

I've used corby bolts once in the past and they can have a similar look when ground back, very secure mechanical fitting. Yours is an awesome looking knife sir.

Im unsure if the scales are bone or ivory. They have a tree ring type pattern in them and are slightly translucent. Lovely feel.

It has a mesmerizing look to go along with the feel (I'll have to take your word on that one!). Very cool.

A good find. But as you've come to realize, it's not Corn on the Cobb (rare outside the Americas until the 1960s) but Corn on the Foot

Also may have doubled up as a Verucca Knife....barf!

Nail on the head Will Yes the thought of Ebenezer Scrooge whipping off a cheesy sock after a hard day's work and slicing off thin sections of unwanted callous or growths is indeed highly puke worthy lol
Cannot bring myself to use it in food prep haha.
Tis a crying shame as it is eminently practical for slicing and dicing with beautifully thin grinds and oh boy, does it take an edge! You can literally shave your face with it, good old G Butler quality steel. Easily the sharpest blade I own.
