F. Dick Knife

I just got back from a small knife show in Wind Gap PA and picked up this nice Sleeveboard Champagne Pattern knife. It is 4 " closed and the handles are a nice color horn. There is a chip missing from the back handle as you can see in the scans. All the blades look to be unused although there is a bit of discoloring to them. They are tight and have good action. All the blades are marked the same. F. DICK on the front of the tangs and on the back is a arrow. The corkscrew is marked with the number 8. I have never seen a knife marked this way but have seen sharpening steels with this mark. If anyone has seen a knife marked like this I would realy like to know.

The show was small but there were deals to be had.

Respected old German Cutler (started 1870s?). The name is still in use, but seems to be more recognized for Steels and Kitchen cutlery.
Others may have more information.

Nice old knife for sure.

All I have is an orange handled sharpening steel with that mark. It has an arrow and F DICK Made in Germany.

Only F. Dick I have here is wood handled knife steel-very nicely made and does a nice job.
F. Dick 1877-1933-dealt in all types of cutlery. Have two marks listed in Goins. curved arrow over FD and straight arrow headed for F. Dick.
There were other Dick cutlers but you know yours.

Just happened to have this Canal Street on file with an F.Dick steel propping it up. I'll try to take a picture of just the steel tomorrow. I believe this one was from the early thirties.

Galvanic,
I was at that show Saturday morning with my AAPK hat on, and all day Sunday. Great deals, especially Sunday. More Wolfertz's, a Camillus 5'' lockback w/ sheath & box, and my first fixed blade from maker Bruce Gillespie. Lousy photo, but you get the idea.

Next weekend Hamburg Field House, Gun & Knife, near Cabela's.

P.M. if you're going.

I'd guess that steel is a twin to mine-cool.
