I cannot ID this knife

Post by timdog44 »

I received this knife in an OLA the other day and have not been able to ID it. Partially obscured is the tang stamp that shows Syracuse and what I assume is knife co. It is a little over 5" closed and there is a bail. On the back side is a corkscrew. The master is a liner lock sheep foot and there is a wood saw blade that is the length of the knife. Help me. Thanks

Syracuse was a brand name owned by Camillus. They used it on many patterns, for many years. A search here on AAPK for “Syracuse” will find many posts and pictures. Nice knife!

As per Levine, the last Camillus "Syracuse Knife Co." products were imported from Poland.1975-76. The originals were made here in the 1930's. J.O'.

I believe it might be a Bartender's Knife. The SheepsFoot blade would be used to slice and make wedges in lemons, limes, etc. The corkscrew is obvious. Now the saw blade is a bit more difficult to figure out. Maybe it's used to saw through tougher rinds like pineapples and melons? Just a thought. I'm not making a definitive ID.

I searched high and low for Syracuse photos and did not find any that look this one. Anyone else have any ideas.

1967redrider - it is a cool knife. I buy/sell a lot of knives which puts a lot photos in front of me and I have never seen one like it.
