metal detecting. too sad.
any idea on manufacture? german?

That's a shame it is so rusted.

I think it was called the 'Rust-o-Matic'. To the best of my knowledge, it came packed in sea salt to absorb moisture. That is one fine example.

That makes an old Diamond Edge look like a keeper!

Have you ever stopped to wonder how many great pocket knives have been planted in the ground!

Looks German or British.......sure is a shame though.

thanks johnnie, it is a shame.

I'd say German. Looks like long nickel bolsters and steel pins. What is the handle material? s-k
