All About Pocket Knives

Thank you for the tip Bill, i will try that.



Tim

I did try your suggestion Bill and it works much better Thank you

I took this photo after working the knife several times( 20 or so), as you can see there is still quite a bit of grease in the hole.

I also didn't realize the knife was double stamped until i enlarged the photo

Click to enlarge....

Thought I would throw my old German Henckels in to show everyone.
Lokks somewhat like the one Jonnnie showed.
This one has great stag handles and I feel itis in great shape.
I am thinking the Henckels are one of the Higher end switchblades, just my opinion.
I guess I do not know what one of these would bring nowdays but I think that
are hard to find.
Hope everyone enjous seeing this one. Not the best pictures but hope OK

That Henckels a beauty thanks for sharing it

this knife has "guardian" reverse etched on the front of the blade and "Germany" on the back tang.

A bit tortured but still worthy it has a diferrent stamp than that nice one Hawk posted up a couple frames ? mine doesn`t say "solingen " on it . Hmmmmm... maybe one is older , This one has a #4 on the release lever.

wiseguy - I LOVE that knife!! Can only dream about finding anything remotely as cool as that.....

I`ll second that

I don`t see many old Henckel`s like that one around

Here is one I picked up.............

Nice one MB ...... ya dont see those everyday does it have a makers mark on it ?

The tang on the blade is stamped "Solingen" nothing else, I would like to know who made it, any ideas?

Anton Wingen is the probable maker.

Thanks Bill

Panzer Messer OTF -

Nice knife

How old is it?

Now that´s got to be rare! And surely illegal in it´s country of origin.....

The Panzermessers are 1970s knives.

I believe they go back into the 60's too as I believe my 1965 catalog has them pictured.

1965-1975 era then!

Truly a shame too.

German cutlery is terrific, what have we missed from there by making these knife types illegal?

It´s all about the bloody politicians fishing for votes! Germany has one of the strictest weapons laws anyway. Next will be kitchen knives and scissors I suppose....

This is a Junkerwerk Solingen knife. It's about 4.5 inches closed and close to 8 inches long when it is open. I don't know too much about it, but if anyone wants to volunteer some information I would appreciate it. Like I'd be curious to know why there's a stamp C 12 on one side and a C 16 on the other. Also the value which probably isn't a whole lot.

Nice old German knife! The C12 and C16 are shotgun gauges. The bolsters on that knife are shotshell pullers.
