Swiss Army Style "Vulcan?" tortoise shell pocket knife

Handyguy · Post by **Handyguy** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 4:42 pm

I am new to the forum - I'm listing pocket knives on eBay & have one I can not find any info on. The knife has many blades, wine opener, very nice removable tiny scissors and tweezers, two awls, flat blade screw driver, nail file, two sizes of can openers. The larger can opener blade reads "Kawamora made". The large blade reads "Vulcan" I believe, but the script style type may read something else.

Does anyone have any ideas about this knife?

I have looked at his site - I would love this knife to be one of his - but it does not resemble his knives that I have found on the web. I wonder if his father made knives as well.

no resemblance at all...just fishing. yours is spelled with an "o"? while his is a "u". the only reference to vulcan was either german and old or just old.

It does look like KAWAMURA but the knife looks to be older that the young Kawamura who makes those knives.

I wonder if Kawamura is a place rather than a makers name.

Kawamura in Japanese means River Village
In can be a last name or a name of a town or prefecture (county)

It’s like a hint and somewhere out there, theirs an ansewer.

I don't know if I can post multiple images to a post but I wanted to show the tweezers & scissors too.
