In addition to the Keen Kutter in the other thread, also came into this pretty little engraved EKA slippie. Again, any info/comments welcome...especially as to what the pattern is called...is it a lobster?

Thanks!

Nice knife. I'd say it is a lobster pattern with the attachments opening from top and bottom. EKA is Eskilstuna Knivfabriks Aktiebolag and the mark dates from 1917 according to Goins. The stainless blade suggests at least 1920s or later, but likely pre WWII IMO. I hope this is of interest. :D s-k

Very interesting smiling-knife! Thank you.

I knew you were the fellas to talk to. Always nice to have a new slipjoint to chat with you guys about.

Haven't had the opportunity in a while.
