Old OTF Gravity Knives

[roostershooter]

Here is an old German WWII paratrooper knife. I found it in this box, unused and in great shape.

That will be worth some money!

You could probably do a patent search and find out who it was assigned to. I would but I am not very computer literate(read dumb!)

I finally did the search for the patent and found it, link below. When I looked at the results there was a knife below patented by a man with the same last name, J Pantalek. Funny but I have a knife that opens the same way as the one he patented. To unlock the handle so the blade can be swung out you need to pull one of the bolsters apart. I have had this knife for years and always thought it was made by a machinist but never knew the design was patented. Go figure.

The patent's are the first 2 at the top of the page.
