Resurrecting this old thread to add a most unique old bolster.

I believe the center "stone" is a piece of meteorite!

Again waking this thread up again after another Three years!

These bolsters fall into the beautiful category IMO

Again.....

Keep waking them up, Dimitri.
Better than starting ANOTHER topic or thread on the same subject.
NICE ornate bolster(s), Dimitri.
Is that a deer foot knife?

Great old thread. The first one is an Imperial shell handled Barlow that I customized by converting it from shell handles and made new liners and bolsters. The bolsters were elongated to exaggerate their length, and faceted. Handle material is elk stag. Second is a Keen Kutter jack with stamped bolsters.

Wow, that Imperial looks great.

Really like the bolsters you put on there!

Nice Keen Kutter as well.

Recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives just to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it most certainly did turn out to be a keeper. It did get added to my general, “foreign born”, pocket knife accumulation. It is a GERMANIA, two blades, two tang stamps, 2 1/2” closed, two long blade pulls, one spring, mother of pearl scales, ornate bolsters, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "GERMANIA (over) CUT. WORKS (over) GERMANY" The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "GERMANIA (over) CUT. WORKS (over) GERMANY" The bolsters are decorated with grapevines. The main blade does have a CRISP half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a CRISP half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. This pocket knife did NOT require any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
