Could you please elaborate on what the 7th knife down is, It the sparkly looking one with the bail. It is right above the shoe. I would really appreciate it. I have the Identical knife with a case and sons tang stamp
but have never seen another one till now. Would you mind posting a pic with the blades open.
Thanks, Kerry
Edited my post to ad the picture of mine.

Kerry: I wish I knew who made it; there is no stamp on the blades or the bail.I'll dig it out tomorrow and post a couple pictures of it open if you like.

That would be great. I figured mine was fake but I showed it to Mr Sargent and several others at the knife show in Lexington and they all said it was right but I’ve never found it in any book.

Gary:Thanks for the info;Mr. Bodner was one very talented guy.
Kerry:Here are a couple pictures I just took of the Christmas tree handled fob knife. No info on either the tang or the bail but I did notice that the file blade has an unusual flat spot on the very tip. Never noticed it on other similar fob knives.

Gary:Just going back over your pics and I couldn't believe I missed that tiny ivory handled ax by George Hale! What a treat!You have an amazing assemblage of tiny knives!

Cool little knives, Kennedy knives. I agree with K7K that the ones on the coins are very nice.

Here is a little Jordan Sohn , 2.5 inches closed.

Thanks to all who took the time to comment and post their knives.I have a huge amount of small knives that I keep in an old retail cigar seller's box that would take too long to post individually so I will just post pics of the drawers.There are 12 drawers that are divided in two so it will take a couple of posts to show them all.They don't have my really small knives in them anymore as I nearly lost a couple when re-arranging them so I will post those separately. Hope you enjoy them and feel free to ask any questions about them.I will post them in order(i.e.:first and second pictures are drawer 1 left and right side).

Another little ‘spoon handle’ fob knife and a couple of Little Richards.
Sorry, couldn’t resist...

I do like the little watch fob knives. They’re like knife jewellery. I think I’m going to start making a point of looking for them, especially in this style and shape.

Nice ones! I'm surprised more people don't collect watch fob knives;some of them can be quite ornate. They are usually available for very reasonable prices and most are in either mint or close to it condition.

two small blades

knife7knut, that is a pasal of little knives! I think you must have the record.

here are the smallest 2 i have.
elosi and hanley

Roofsc : Those tiny critters are really nice;may I ask who made them?
Richard :Is the figured pearl the Hanley knife and is it made in England or Germany? I have several of that style by different makers from both countries.

i just had a good look at the pearl knife. it is stamped HARVEY BROS very small letters. no country of origin ?

i also have this one stamped argyle cutlery co. germany

Here are a couple 2 1/8 advertisement knives. Smallest ones I have.

Ooooh, I like these ones, especially the last one.

Thanks zoogirl, Brisells was the company that invented the first vacuum.

I thought so. I believe they have a classic rug sweeper that must actually predate vacuums. I remember my friends parents had one.

Another little jewel. This one has a very odd file. The file teeth are along the inside edge of the curved blade. It was in terrible shape but has cleaned up nicely. The blades still need work though. No markings.

A few more babies have followed me home - they’re cute, I’m gonna keep ‘em!

WHOA!! These are KOOL!! Nice show Girl and Guys!!!

Great mini's guys! Here's a couple of mine, sellers pics of course.
1900-1945 Voss Hen & Rooster Gent's pen knife. Really small at 2 5/8" closed.
Imperial Slim Jack with celluloid stag handles. Dinky at @ 2 5/8" and sending to POS exchange person.
1 of 20 Imperial USA 12k gold filled key-chain jewelry knife. Also fancy file work. Made for E.C. Simmonds wholesale. This is a small one. 1 1/2" closed.
I have a few more to list, just have to go now.

Next one is an Imperial USA Stainless Celluloid Striped Lobster penknife. Shes not as small as the others but still pretty small at 2 1/4" closed.
The rest are still on their way from the seller,
Imperial USA Celluloid Pearl Dogleg Jack. Another small one at 2 7/8" closed. This one looks to be in mint condition.
I'll try and post the rest tomorrow...
Willy
