Back with more!
1. Hammer Brand (not marked NYK, but I think it is). One blade.
2. Freidmann & Lauterjung Celebrated Cutlery. One blade and a buttonhook.
3. Franz Frenzel. Mosaic on the mark side, plain horn on the pile side. Two blades.
4. Friodur (Henckels). I don't know what the handle material is, but I don't think it's plastic. It feels like stone. Two blades.
5. Camillus/Santa Fe Stoneworks. Two blades. Also plain horn on the pile side.
6. Carl Schlieper, two blades
7. A. Feist & Co. Two blades and a file. Sadly, the spring for the file is broken. This also has a Stanhope viewer with a picture of a large building.

Nice collection Brent! I really like the bone handle oldie with the button hook (2. Freidmann & Lauterjung Celebrated Cutlery. One blade and a buttonhook.) According to Goins' they were in business from 1864 to 1909.

Re: Smaller "Gentleman's" knives, Part 3
My Grandpa always had a tiny knife with him like these. Sometimes even a keychain one. I was fortunate to inherit one of them, I'll dig it up and post a photo.
Miss him, was 15 when he died, he was only 72. My other grandpa died when I was 1, so I never knew him. He owned a locker, I bet he really knew good steel.
