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.

It's about time, Rip (van Winkle!)! 24 days later !

Thanks Charlie, I forgot that I needed to respond to the post. I will blame it on age thank you.

Check out the patent topic I started.

I've been reading it, thanks Mike. If i find anything interesting, I'll post it. I have punches, but they've been done several times.

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

Nice ones MM! That Shapleigh is an uncommon and neat knife!
