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.

Nice clauss joe. The handles look cool in the light.

They make a good workhorse Joe

Thanks guys!

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"

[FRJ]

Here's an old Clauss swell center hunter. 5 3/8" closed.
Any thoughts as to who made it?
Thanks for looking.

Can't help you with any info Joe, except I love your old knife, you seem to always keep finding some great ones!!! Thanks for sharing.

[FRJ]

Thank you so much, Bill.
I'm glad you like it.

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.

Here is a Clauss knife that I believe was made by Utica.

[FRJ]

Nice looking knife, Steve. Love that frame pattern.
Would you say that is Rogers green bone?

[sunknife]

Thats a great looking knife Steve, I'm fond of that pattern too.

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

[LongBlade]

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 )...

[peanut740]

Lee,I believe it is a tool kit knife also.

[OldKnifeCollector]

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

Top of page 3 has one just like it.

I'm inclined to agree with Steve re' the EO jack with the broken front handle; looks like a Robeson product to me.

I do not have a Robeson doppelganger to show, but the bone is fairly indicative.

I caught one! It’s a little Clauss gentleman’s knife.
When I picked it up, it was just plain disgusting.
It was tarnished and dirty and I really wasn’t sure if I’d be able to clean it up at all. The Red Barn/Vancouver Flea vendor is kind of a buddy, so I gave him $5 for it anyway. A little elbow grease and some attention to the edge of the smaller blade and I think it’ll pass! It’s lost some of its silver plating but it’s not too bad.
I couldn’t get a good pic of the bail, but it’s has Clauss on it.
I do like my little guys!

Here's a nice old camper. 3 5/8" closed.
Thought to be made by Queen.

[LongBlade]

Thats a sweet ol camper utility type knife Joe ... Lovely bone with that long jigging pattern .. (Is that considered winterbottom bone ??) ... also cool wrench inside the cap lifter along with screwdriver ...

[Mumbleypeg]

For comparison here's my Clauss 27 pattern. Pretty sure it was made by Case.

Clauss 27 Camp/Utility

And a Clauss whittler with Winterbottom handle covers similar to yours. Probably made by Queen.
