I've been looking for one of these for a long time. Now I can take care of them corns...
Per the tang stamp this is a German knife, made circa 1891-1944.
Comparing the tree on the blade to GOIN'S, the closest I see is 1907.
My best guess is somewhere between 1900-1930.

And French Ivory handles. Seems to be very popular with those knives. I'd like to have one but am not ready to fork out the $45 Tom wants for those he has in his shop.
Great find Blue. Congratulations.

Keep looking, JerryD! It only took me about 2-3 years to sneak up on this one for $14 + shipping.

I just received these 2 vintage Corn knives, an IXL & Boker "King Kutter". The Boker looks never used.

A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).
