Anybody like German Eyes? I got this little toothpick in a couple of days ago.

I have an old Carl Schlieper knife with a broken backspring and one broken blade. The one remaining blade is excellent carbon steel. I have been keeping it, hoping eventually to figure out a way to fix it.
Your knife is a beauty.
Do you know if it is carbon steel?
Thanks for sharing,
Dale

Very nice knife James, I for one like German Eye and appreciate the fine quality..I have owned several.
Orvet I do believe that all German Eyes are carbon steel, which makes me appreciate them even more..

Thanks Sunburst for the info. I don't know much about them, but I can feel the quality in the steel. It just feels like good steel, I guess there is something about the texture of the blade.
I really can't describe it, but do you know what I mean?

I also think it is carbon steel. Razor sharp too
I think a German Eye would make a good carrying knife.

I know exactly what you mean...It's all in the feel and look of the steel..

Eye Brand has a stainless line also. But you sure can't beat that hammer forged carbon steel. Hammer forging smashs those molecules closer together giving the blade extra toughness. They sure take an edge & keep it longer than a blade that has been ground or milled to remove the metal that tapers down to the edge. Bulldog & other brands that are made in the Bulldog plant are also hammer forged.

Well I stand corrected
I have never seen a stainless steel Eye brand and have asked a lot of folks...Evidently I needed to ask the "
right" folks..
I still highly recommend them and terribly miss a 3 bladed jigged bone trapper that I never should have sold..
Thanks Dave for the heads up.

That's a "purty" one James, I like the whole setup of that knife with the stag and nice etching.

Them is some good lookin eye balls boys!
Here is a stainless stag mini trapper. On the blade etch it says Surgical Stainless, and on the back of the tang on the back blade it is stamped "Rustless". I'm sorry it's a little hard to see I need to practice more on my photography.
