My Knife Of The Year
Mail Call !!!!!! I've bought a lot this year as I always do. Everything from Shell Pullers to Customs to J.A. Henckels, etc.... I honestly think this is my knife of the year for me. Just something about this piece I love the shape. I'm guessing early 19th century. It has had blades put in it that aren't perfect, however for me that's part of what I like about it. It just gives it character. They do appear to be made from files by the marks on them. I am a fan of horn handles and the yellow on the front side scale "Love It". Corkscrew isn't broken like so many are and the double cigar cutter.

I did and thank you for correction So possibly late 19th to early 20th c.. You know it's funny I could type pretty good at one time but now it's like the mind is thinking one thing and they fingers are typing another.SteelMyHeart85420 wrote:Cool old knife, no doubt.

That old knife has character! Someone went to a lot of effort to make replacement blades out of files. Unless you heat it to take the temper out, a file is the hardest metal I have ever tried to work. Very cool knife, as others have said.

Not at all hard for me to understand why you like this knife so much.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I think it’s a very interesting old knife! I certainly see why you’d love it so much, I would too.
