to AAPK D.D.! I believe Folgore is onto something with the "Outsiders" movie. That movie depicts the 1950's and I think the knife in your post is the model that Johnny Cade carried and hence made famous, so perhaps it's from that era. Nice knife under any circumstances!

Shell puller leverlocks were made from the very early 1900s until the late 1960s-maybe even later.
During the 1940s most German cutlery production was geared toward the war. After WW2, Germany was not allowed to export cutlery to the US until 1950.

Thank you for the response. Do you think this knife is pre WW2? Everything I seen on line suggest that. I can't find anything about this knife just that C. Friedrich was known for there straight razors.Bill DeShivs wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 2:11 am Shell puller leverlocks were made from the very early 1900s until the late 1960s-maybe even later.

I don't know, but I suspect post-1950.
