Chris,
Send me a picture of your favorite knife, I will make you another screen saver. A scan works best or a big picture.

I will PM you an address

Testcase,
I'm curious about the Towika knife you posted. I'm not familiar with the name. What can you tell me about it?
Thanks,
Phil

Phil:
There is some confusion whether or not the name actually starts with a "J" or a "T", Benard Levines says "J" and gave this info on another forum.

The second knife is a Jowika -- it took me many years to sort out whether that script first letter is a T or a J, but it is in fact a J.

Jowika Stahwlarenfabrik Eugen Weber & Altenbach KG was the full name of this German mfr of low-end mass market cutlery. It began prior to 1928 under the name Kleinwefers; became Jowika some time prior to 1939.

Jowika opened a branch factory in Listowel, Ireland, in 1960, which was acquired by Imperial Schrade in 1978. Closed about a year and a half before Schrade closed.

A real beauty upnorth! I'd say it looks like it could have been made yesterday, but they don't make them that nice anymore.

Thought I'd ressurect this old jack thread with a couple beauties I just added to my collection.

The first is a nice rough black tested 99 1/2

The second is a beautiful (to me at least) Norvell Shaplieghs "Prince" Etched jack with smooth blue composition handles.

Too bad that ol norvell aint bone
