Here's a few living with me. Most are relics, but some are nice.
I'll see if I can find more later and post pics of the whole (what's left) knives.

Dimitri, that Utica speaks of another era, when every gentleman carried a cigar clipper in his pocket.
Even the size of the clipper speaks of an older era when many hand made cigars were made with a twist of the wrapper at the end of the cigar instead of a nicely finished head like most of today’s fine handmade cigars.
The cigars with the twist are often called a fumas today.

How many tools are there on that knife; 2 knife blades, a corkscrew, cigar clipper and is that other tool a glass cuter?

Yes, it is a glass cutter

The only question is, who needs a glass cutter?

This is one of the most cheaply constructed knives I have seen in an old knife. The handles are hollow shell handles. The blade steel is soft, you can actually bend the blade at the tip and then back again with out it breaking off

The imitation tortoise shell inlay is paper thin, the blades hit one another when closing, very poor quality

Dale,

here is one if you want it http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-ANTIQUE-F ... 439f68951a, better jump on it fast though at that price it won`t last long

Demitri, I hate to say it but that one looks in slightly better shape than yours.
Your is probably only worth $200.

Well Dimitri,
If that one sells at that price we will know P.T. Barnum was right!

Hi Wazu, love the bone on that one! I have the same knife with what looks to be an ebony handle. Do you have any info on the "Garantie Solingen" stamp? Thanks for showing! Bob

Another Oldie: "H. Boker & Sons Improved Cutlery"

trutemper · Post by **trutemper** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 3:39 pm

Last one for today. Old "Fairmount Cutlery" I really like these cuz many of them had the fileworked backsprings which really highlight a knife. This one happens to have really nice lightly used blades and the main has a beautiful swedge. Bob

PA Knives · Post by **PA Knives** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:29 pm
