All About Pocket Knives

Here's an old Pearl Charles K. Randall, Germany, congress.(With the usual crack in the MOP.)I have others and they are nicely made. The anchor and arrow stamp on 3 of the blades. O'.

A cool old knife, and what a great tang stamp!

Here's another one, a "loom fixer". Stamp is different, a sunburst. Can't find anything on the company. Price's guide only says. the name and "Germany",no dates. Can't say which stamp is earlier.

J.O', I looked in Goins and Levine with no success. I do not have a good reference book on German knives, but Herb does. I was just looking through it at his house on Sunday.

Thanks Red, Maybe Herb will hop in here. O'.

J.O., I found a tang stamp that looks very similar to the one on the first knife in your pictures, but Carter indicates that it belongs to Wester & Butz, and I don't see any mention of Randall. Maybe Randall took over that mark later on?

Thanks Herb. Still a mystery. All three blades are stamped, "Chas. K. Randall" on the mark side and have the anchor/arrow on the pile side. They must have been affiliated or the logo is some standard insignia l
kind of like a skull and bones for lack of a better example. ???? Did you see my other German stamp in Q and A?
