All About Pocket Knives

The outside of the spring on this little mop pen knife doubles as a nail file. Many knives have file attachments, but this is the first I have seen quite like this one. Is this unusual? s-k

p.s. not Wostenholm. Just downloaded photos to that folder. The only mark is Hart Brighton. Must be a merchant/retailer name.

Just thought this might be more appropriate for Q & A. Please move if so.

That is a very nice little beauty S/K.

I think thats a KOOL idea.

Just do NOT let MM see this he will build one like it.

Bet he will put this on his next Swiss Army Knife.

too ;late Ken, I done seen it . Kinda unique. I think I saw the world smallest splitback whittler last night at an auction it was only about 2" long at most, looked alot like this knife SK has shown us, only it was german made and the pearl was busted up, and two of the blades were gone

That's very nice SK when was that knife made??? It sure seems to be a very original idea...

Thanks for sharing that jewel..

A nice way to add a file without adding another blade.

Good morning Smiling-Knife ,

That is a little oddball, I have never seen that before. Nice knife.

Good morning all. Thanks for the responses . I don't know all that much about this one other than it looked a little unusual. I need to spend some time investigating the markings. Anyone have anything on Hart Brighton? Not a maker but likely a merchant's name. s-k

I really appreciate those classy little Pearls. Nice knife!

Levine #4 lists a Brighton Cutlery Works, Germany, c 1900? & Goins gives the dates of 1900-1930.
Levine also lists a Hart Cutlery Co. He says some were made by Camillus & some were made in Germany, c 1920. Goins lists Hart's dates as 1900-1920.

Possibly a knife made by Brighton for Hart, hence the Hart Brighton???? The dates the two companies were in business would match, but this is totally a guess, but there isn't much to go on in either Levine or Goins.

Thanks for the information Dale. That's an interesting hypothesis .. I was not thinking German-made. I'll try to follow some of those leads and let everyone know if anything develops. Thanks for the compliments Phil & 9ball s-k
