It had some rust, but not deep into the blades. In fact, the blades both have the factory edge on them, and the secondary is still quite sharp. Very nice feel to the knife.

In the same box was an older Boker (only marked BOKER on the mark side and having the tree logo on the pile side of the main blade; nothing on the secondary) and this Tole 10 lockback. I had never seen nor heard of the brand; it's apparently a Spanish company, though the knife is new enough I can't say whether it's actually made there or imported. It's pretty, though, and seems well made.

there was also a Richards (Sheffield) pen knife, a cute little Kutmaster small stockman, and a couple of Victorinox knives for fun.

In the Olsen Catalogs it was listed as a No.13 Carpenters Knife. It has bone handles, nickle silver bolsters, brass liners, steel pins, and a Federal Style shield. This one was really dirty inside and blades were stiff. I did some cleanup on it, and a warm oil bath. Blades have great snap, no wobble, but do have some pitting, stains, and spiders. The secondary clip blade is missing the tip. From my research, in the early 1960's Olsen outsourced some of it's knives from Solingen Germany. These had the bone handles and federal shield up to 1970. After that they were outsourced from Camillus and they had a silver line and a gold shield line that had the oval shield with Olsen Ok stamped on it, and the Olsen Ok tang stamp. So this dates this knife from the 1960's no later than 1970.

The blade looks like it's half as long as the handles when opened but looks equally long when closed. Looks like a real nice knife! Just has me scratching my head.

Nice find! Too bad one tip is broken off. You gonna reshape it or leave it?

Thanks Tom. I will probably reshape it, then put some Flitz on the blades to shine them up a bit. I don't know if you remember the old Ulster 63 I found with the broken tips of the blades that I cleaned up, but it turned out looking pretty good, and the secondary clip blade didn't look much different on profile. The thread is here .... about the middle of the thread. viewtopic.php?f=63&t=62956&start=750

That knife is too cool for words Ryan! Looks like a real workhorse! And since it's a Cold Steel product you can be sure it's oozing quality! Use it well! Mark!

Very nice, great shape, those are a couple of dandies. Really like that WWII stuff as well.
Is the toothpick one of those that got put in life rafts for survival?
Thanks for sharing your stuff nice info inset with pics, great idea
