That is just a REALLY COOL knife!
Definitely made for use in a fermenter's job. Corkscrew for opening bottles, the scribe for marking barrels, saw and pen blade... VERY COOL.

I have another one I need to find pictures of. It has a folding D-guard to protect your hand whilst marking logs.

Its not pretty just a plain utilitarian old tool meant to do its job!

Thanks Mike, was a fun find as we was just talking about finding one, and they worked with me on the price ::tu::
Did notice the stamp is up on the shank unlike the others shown. They’re marked on the tang .

Congrats Buddy! ::handshake:: Cool knife! ::nod::

I have seen one of these on the Bay before but I didn't know what it was for so I passed on it. Now I know what they were made for. ::nod:: I bet they would come in handy for whittling. ::nod::
