Does anybody know what the brand of this knife is? it has an AB and Solingen on the tang? It has a corkscrew on the bottom.

I have looked at all the German knife manufacturers beginning with "A" and with "B" and i cannot find this "AB" logo. There are a number of knife manufacturers whose last name starts with "B" and have a first name beginning with "A", but they do not have "A B" in their logos.
Stumped for now at least.
Good looking knife !

Possibly made by Arthur Bohmer (the o should be umlauted, but I don't know how). Company was founded in 1922 and dissolved in 1971. Brand names used were: AB-BLAU/WEISS, AB-WORLD'S FAVOURITE, BLAUECK, GOLDECK, GRUNECK, and OKAPI (all registered after 1924). They made a wide variety of pocket knives, razors and razor blades, many of which were exported.
Roland, I got this out of the book "German Knife and Sword Makers". I looked for AB in the index.
