Those are awesome, thanks for posting. Plenty of hdwe store knives to collect, always fun to find a new name! Thanks for showing!

Here’s an old Wm Frankfurth Hardware whittler with ebony handles. Frankfurth was a store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It’s a shame one of the secondary blades was broken off but I still really like it.

Bpack, Looks a bit like a Schrade I had. ?? Good Luck. J.O'.

Frankfurth is on my list, too ... Good looking knife. Love a whittler pattern

Thanks Jeffblues65

Very recently, this camping/scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife, arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did not purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it definitely did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a WARDS, one blade, four tools (a cap lifter or bottle opener with a screwdriver tip, a can opener, and a punch or awl), one tang stamp, 3 5/8" closed, a long main blade pull, two springs, camping/scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "WARDS (over) MADE IN USA" The main blade does have a WEAK half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does have an OK closing snap. ALL of the tools open and close properly, without problems. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. I did have to give it a very minor cleaning.
I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

A very good looking knife, Skip!
