It’s 3 5/8s closed and the main blade is on two springs. This pattern was in Bernard Levine’s Knife World column a while back and I was able to buy the HTT magazine from him.
Beautiful example and love the graphics!!![/quote]
That would have to be one of my all time favorite knives.I just read the story in Knife world a few months ago in the what-iz-it column, and what a great story it was.It is a joy to have I am sure.Thanks for letting us see it.

sharpen your knife !!!
I third that Charlie, I love those darn blades!!!! How about this really old 1725 French Fruit knife I just picked up. Levine's fourth has one on page 230. It's 5" closed. Got it in a batch of knives I bought because there was a Nagle and a Platts Andover in the group.
That is a nice one Mike. I never saw a fruit knife that big. I think that size would be more practical for cutting fruit, than one of those little ones.
Do have pics of the Nagle and Platts yet??
Wow! I can't stop lookin' at those banana knives Mike and Kathy. "stunning".Galvanic, I would like to just find any Platts Andover. Very nice!. Here's a saddle horn with the faint remanants of the Wilbert mark, I think also may be Napanoch made.Slim
