PRIMBLE IS MY FAVORITE

Nice Primble Wannadotoo. ------------- Nice sign Roger.
THELCO- Cleveland
I had not seen this stamp before I bought it at a flea market a while ago.
I took before and after pictures of a light cleanup and main blade rehab.
I also sharpened the blade and sharpened the actual usable leather punch.
Almost all sunken joints.
This is a nice knife. A camper. 3 3/8" closed length.
The punch is a demanding little thing needing a sunken second liner on its one side and a remarkable catch bit that is tapered to accommodate a perfect placement in the well. I like that kind of stuff. Great engineering and it adds to the quality of the knife.
Levine's 3rd edition says this is from Lockwood Luetkemeyer Henry, Hdw. Co., Cleveland Oh., Hdw. Whol.
Apparently THELCO stand for "THE L CO". The Luetkemeyer Co., 1848-19??
I wonder who made it. ???
Thanks for looking.
