Woodwalker get a chance check out the little imperial push button knife and man you have to see the Robert Klass Kissing Crane Monolith. The little imperial I will probably trade so if you like it let me know. Thanks for commenting on this whittler I really like it. It snaps hard and I like the pattern.

Levine lists Graeff & Schmidt as a USA manufacturer 1940-52 AND as an importer of Henckels knives 1883-c1948. OP knife is a Henckels pattern.

Thanks KJ! I knew there was a reason I liked this knife. I love early Henckels knives. Thank you very much for the information.

Every G & S knife i have seen has been a Henckels made knife. I have never seen one that was made in USA and i wonder if the info from Levine about G & S manufacturing in USA is correct.
