What is that hook for?

Interesting knives Mark. Don’t remember ever seeing a fish tail like that. What is the emblem embossed or stamped on the brass knife? I can’t make it out.

Very cool! I think your cat agrees; he seems to be saying, "back off...that's my knife!"

Thank you Mark.
I'm not sure which emblem you are referring to so I'll describe all of them.
On the front cover is a raised image of a hunter pointing his rifle skyward.
On the back cover is a raised image of a peasant woman holding some sort of tool, a broom perhaps.
And the only marking on the front blade appears to be a spanner wrench, as best as I can make out but that's only a guess. When I first saw it I had no idea what it is and didn't give it another thought, and even after close scrutiny I still don't really know.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Mark now I can make out what it is. I just couldn’t get that hunter pointing his gun to resemble anything, I was trying to figure it out as something that was long and crawling on the ground and I just couldn’t get there.

Ha, ha, ha!
Oh I get it, Mark, I don't really think the stamp on the blade is a spanner wrench, but since I couldn't make it out to be anything else I went with that. I'd sure like to know for sure though.
I do see what you mean though, if I don't focus on the image it looks like some sort of flying dinosaur to me.
I wonder if any of the books some of the members refer to for such things has a picture of that "spanner" stamp.

Thanks Jim, when it starts cooling off, and take a weekend off camping, when the wife is up to it.

Heck I was cleaning this utility bbq knife and just noticed it's two pieces..It slides together and locks up.
I like that alot...

That's as cool as the other side of my pillow, Theo, I love it!

Thanks for the dimensions. Your new knife has a big fun factor.

My latest (and last) knife purchase…

Heading toward retirement and shutting down discretionary spending on knives and guns and such…

‘I have enoungh’ (said no collector ever)

It’s a beaut… a 2017 tribal lock w/antique bone, scrolled bolsters and 3 cross shield

The final entry to my small collection (10) of faith-based knives

From the shallow end of the bay all the way from Armenia.
Unmarked, unknown maker 8 1/2" oal top-lock with a SS modified Wharncliffe blade with dual-studs, SS hardware, and creamy stag covers.
Nice n' heavy!
Pretty cool if you ask me, but that's only if you ask me, mind you!

Looks pretty cool to me, too, Mark! I have to wonder if it was made in Armenia?
