Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
Here's another with the Fox head. I used to know the maker but it alludes me at the moment. I'll see what I can find.

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
I like the old Horseman patterns guys
This is a nice old Sheffield multi-tool to keep things ticking along. It is a somewhat unusual pattern in that the corkscrew has a thick tang that rides on both springs

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
I haven't gotten out much lately but picked this up from an antiques dealer that sets them aside for me when he comes across them. A few small nicks and chips but in pretty good shape and still has its tooth pick in the handle. IXL Wostenholm

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
I'm always amazed at the quantity and quality of old knives that you boyos over in the UK keep coming up with.
I love seeing them. KEEP 'EM COMING!!
Knives such as those are damn few and FAR between here in Texas.

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
Its filthy and worn to a nub with the bail missing but the bone scales are nice and it's a Johnson Western Works Sheffield. Two blades, corkscrew and a gimlet.

It was obviously well loved to have been used as much as it was. Great old relic.Iron Hoarder wrote:Its filthy and worn to a nub with the bail missing but the bone scales are nice and it's a Johnson Western Works Sheffield. Two blades, corkscrew and a gimlet.

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
I just picked up a Morley same tang stamp but in a half congress,one blade has a long line over NEW YORK like a Camillus the other blade has GERMANY on it.Anybody know what is up with this???Nice bone scalestrail wrote:Great idea for a thread, and a fine knife to lead it off, M.B. I only have one that meets the criteria, and that is only if you consider the file to be a blade. This Morley is a classic example of central European knifemaking. Like the Gebr. Muller, it exudes old world craftsmanship. The number of hand steps that must have been taken to make this detailed and well-fitted old knife are something that we don't see in factory, or even most custom, knives today. W.H. Morley and Sons were imported by A. Kastor of Camillus fame from 1913 to 1927. They were made in Germany and Bohemia, which was part of the Austrian Empire until the end of World War I, and afterward was the independent state of Czechoslovakia. This knife shows that even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then, as I picked it up off ebay for a song without even really knowing what it was.

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
Forgot I had this one. This mark has been posted before but is supposed to have a lion stamp on the pile side. Mine doesn't. Don't know what that means but it fits this thread so thought I'd post it. I guess it's a sleeveboard with milled liners and fiery pearl which I can't seem to capture with my camera. Slim.

Re: Old Multi-Blade Folding Knives
Just picked-up this little gem during my day out yesterday. Sterling scales hallmarked Birmingham 1897. Nice snap and half stops.
