I cannot ID this knife
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'.

Re: I cannot ID this knife
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.

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

Cool utility knife. 

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

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.
