That is just a REALLY COOL knife!Miller Bro's wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 12:27 am

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

Re: Old Timber Scribes!
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!

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

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.
