Postal person left this high price piece of jewelry in my box. Heh heh heh. I don't know whether to open a bottle of wine or cut glass, heh heh heh.

That's wild looking scale material there BH, what is that? And being a whale lover, I really like the tang stamp. Cool piece. And never seen a pocket knife yet with a glass cutter. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllddddddddd. Thanks bud.

I reckon it's a celluloid wrap, it's a cheap shell handle Richartz whale, from Germany, Dude was asking 12 bucks I thought it was kinda neat, but not that neat, so I offered him 5 and he came right back with a okay.

It has Tip bolsters on the rear, with standard style bolsters on the front. It has metal liners with a brass blade separator. It has black composite handles and is 4-3/8 inch closed. The knife has been cleaned, but not a good job. The blade wells are dirty inside, and blades although having snap are sluggish and feel gritty when opening. I've already started doing the usual warm mineral oil bath, exercising the blades and a lot of black oil coming from between the springs and blades. Will let it soak overnight and do some cleaning tomorrow. From what I've been able to research, this one is pre 1940. Some of the other knife forums consensus is around 1938.

Garry, that knife is just gorgeous.

I dropped him a pm with my admiration for the knife and if he ever decided to part with it I would certainly be interested. Typical to Glen he sent me the knife to look over to see if I for sure wanted it. I already knew I wanted it and it arrived on the 22nd. Seeing it in person is more wonderful than in pictures. After a Paypal exchange for a price I thought more than fair I am the proud holder of the knife. I have a couple from Herman Williams and this one compares well with them. Wow!!! Thanks Glen and thanks for sharing my excitement. Please excuse my poor pictures. DSCN6920.JPGDSCN6921.JPGDSCN6922.JPGDSCN6923.JPG

Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 10:53 pm Marco, Congratulations on your sleek pick-ups. The Al Mars may have been the best manufactured knives of their generation. I am not optimistic about the brand's move toChina. I have the QuickSilver with the bail/latch which covers the blade tip. But there are no numbers on my blade.
