I like knives with multiple different purpose blades.

What do you have?

Hi Dan, yes made by Dittert Co. Germany.

The small blade you speak of is for punching holes in leather! ::nod::

Thanks Dimitri,
I guess I should have figured that out, it just looked so small.

Nice French knives, Bill and Dimitri. ::tu:: ::tu::

I have this one, which is only 5 blades, counting the corkscrew and punch. Made by J.W. Stutter. It is very near 5" in length. The punch is quite large and triangular in cross section.
