Here's a tool kit knife/handle made by Clauss. I don't have the tools.
I use it as my bench knife. It's a great tool. I really like it.

Here is a Clauss I picked up recently (unfortunately has damaged front scales). I think this is the same as Case Tested 6228EO. 3-5/16"

Not a Case pattern, not made by Case. Looks like a Robeson to me.

Clauss had a surprisingly large number of companies make their knives over the years.

Anyone interested in this one? I would trade it for something I like or sell it.

Personally I'm not interested in selling or trading for it but have a question - On the rear bolster is there a pin that runs through the knife from mark to pile side?? The extended pin in the photo on that rear bolster reminds me of a tool kit knife (check this thread: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=21337 )...

Yes I’m fairly certain that’s what it is.
