Fly Knife

[galvanic1882]

I’m always on the lookout for old paper showing knives and ones showing autos are few and far between. Very happy to have found this one R C Kruschke’s patented Fly knife. Funny thing is the date is Oct 6, same as my birthday of course years earlier though!

Nice paper Mike

Do you have the knife?

I would like to see one

[galvanic1882]

Thanks guys and no I don’t have one. Several are shown on FB though

I have one in rough shape. I think these were a contract knife made by Voss Cutlery.

Voss was a contractor/importer in the US, I believe.
A likely maker for this pattern was F. Herder. Others may have made them too. I do know Herder was a manufacturer who made this pattern.

Here is a book my friends and I wrote. There is a good write up about these in our German chapter.

Few more old ads. I found a 16” model in South America. And I found a 12” Belgian made version too
