Anyone heard of Redge?

Turned up the silver one a while back, forgot about it till the other one arrived the other day. Even s-k cannot find any info on the maker!

Saw a new knife advertised as Pakistan Solingen, looked like solingen made blades assembled in Pakistan, these are obviously older but I wondered if they might be post war German assembled using Sheffield blades to try to overcome predudice against German goods shortly after the end of the war?

It's a long shot, but there is no record of a Sheffield maker using the name REDGE.

Thanks for looking

That's a new one to me, and to Goins. You may have to ask Bernard Levine about this one.

Yeah, posted them on Bladeforums, BRL hasn't got any info on REDGE but he reckons it could be a wholesaler who was shipping out to the british empire colonies betwween the wars. Going to try to find british company records for that era, might get lucky

good call johnie
