Re: Can any one HELP Identify how old they THINK THIS Knife is???

I think it is an early 40's RICHARTZ with the birdseye rivet. Just wag, not enough info. If he is still around smiling knife use to save these. There should be some of his old posts in the records somewhere.

Thank you to Jacknifeben and steve99f: I would bet that the big devil had not been apart in 50-60 years. Darn near grown together. I will try a photo tomorrow. I knew it was a slot I just did not have the stones to apply the pressure it took.
