Re: The Little Knives!
That would be great. I figured mine was fake but I showed it to Mr Sargent and several others at the knife show in Lexington and they all said it was right but I’ve never found it in any book.knife7knut wrote:Kerry: I wish I knew who made it; there is no stamp on the blades or the bail.I'll dig it out tomorrow and post a couple pictures of it open if you like.ludwig26 wrote:Knife7knutknife7knut wrote:Still mo

Gary:Thanks for the info;Mr. Bodner was one very talented guy.
Kerry:Here are a couple pictures I just took of the Christmas tree handled fob knife. No info on either the tang or the bail but I did notice that the file blade has an unusual flat spot on the very tip. Never noticed it on other similar fob knives.

Cool little knives, Kennedy knives. I agree with K7K that the ones on the coins are very nice.
Here is a little Jordan Sohn , 2.5 inches closed.

Re: The Little Knives!
Thanks to all who took the time to comment and post their knives.I have a huge amount of small knives that I keep in an old retail cigar seller's box that would take too long to post individually so I will just post pics of the drawers.There are 12 drawers that are divided in two so it will take a couple of posts to show them all.They don't have my really small knives in them anymore as I nearly lost a couple when re-arranging them so I will post those separately. Hope you enjoy them and feel free to ask any questions about them.I will post them in order(i.e.:first and second pictures are drawer 1 left and right side).

Re: The Little Knives!
Another little ‘spoon handle’ fob knife and a couple of Little Richards.
Sorry, couldn’t resist...
I do like the little watch fob knives. They’re like knife jewellery. I think I’m going to start making a point of looking for them, especially in this style and shape.

Re: The Little Knives!
Nice ones! I'm surprised more people don't collect watch fob knives;some of them can be quite ornate. They are usually available for very reasonable prices and most are in either mint or close to it condition.zoogirl wrote:Another little ‘spoon handle’ fob knife and a couple of Little Richards.

Re: The Little Knives!
Roofsc : Those tiny critters are really nice;may I ask who made them?
Richard :Is the figured pearl the Hanley knife and is it made in England or Germany? I have several of that style by different makers from both countries.

Thanks zoogirl, Brisells was the company that invented the first vacuum.
Re: The Little Knives!
I thought so. I believe they have a classic rug sweeper that must actually predate vacuums. I remember my friends parents had one.

Another little jewel. This one has a very odd file. The file teeth are along the inside edge of the curved blade. It was in terrible shape but has cleaned up nicely. The blades still need work though. No markings.
