Moose -- Large knife with a big clip blade at one end and either a long spear or a long spey blade at the other end.

Maybe they should have called it a Hawbaker Moose.

Here's one that made me break my rule of never purchasing a knife that I've previously owned and sold. In my defense, however, the one I owned previously was used, whereas this Beretta Electra with carbon fiber handle scales on anodized blue liners is brand spankin' new...so, that's not really the same, right? And besides, I regretted selling my first one almost as soon as I mailed it off. Finding this one to take it's place was nothing short of providential; so, in good conscience, I really couldn't refuse, now could I? As the saying goes, "Rules are made to be broken."

I think I will call it a Swayback Mustache Jack. Has a nice long Wharncliffe master. Don't know anything about where it was made, but the names sound German. No info in Goins or Levine's. This unused knife was a little difficult to scan because of the reflection. It's very shiny. This one came from the Plainfield Fire Dept Knife Show about 6 or 8 years ago. Barry

Barry; I found the below info in my 1986 Goins book, page #100.
Looked up last name first. (I find that works many times in Goins book research)
Peter Hendricks c 1922-1926
The firm of Peter Hendricks G.m.b.H. Solingen, Germany used trademark "Pharus" during these years. In 1926 the firm was sold to Friedr. Herder & Sohn.

Barry; You can look up: Friedr, Herder ABR Sohn on page #101 of Goins 1986 issue for further information of the buyer of your posted knife mfg.
I must add that your knife is in very nice condition for its age.

Thanks Dan...........It's always important to know what you don't know.....That's one less thing I don't know. Thanks again, Barry

I have been wondering what the difference is between the Trident and the Electra...are they both the same size (3 5/8")?
